We Will Not Be Intimidated

First they came for the communists,

I did not speak out

because I was not a communist.

When they came for the social democrats,

I did not speak out

because I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists

I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews

I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew;

And when they came for me,

there was no one left to speak out.

(poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) about the quiescence of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.)

The White Rose: A Lesson in Dissent

by Jacob G. Hornberger, January 1996

The date was February 22, 1943. Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie, along with their best friend, Christoph Probst, were scheduled to be executed by Nazi officials that afternoon. The prison guards were so impressed with the calm and bravery of the prisoners in the face of impending death that they violated regulations by permitting them to meet together one last time. Hans, a medical student at the University of Munich, was 24. Sophie, a student, was 21. Christoph, a medical student, was 22.

  • I have to add another proverb: democracy dies by inches.

    The Germans have been called all guilty after WW II.

    Makes me think: Are all Americans are guilty by now, because they let even embellish the press the war attrocities of their Nazi troops? Purple heart and other medals are proof of war crime like the iron cross given to German soldiers in WW II.

    • Oh, you mean like our pal George "Iraq is a slam dunk" Tenet...yeah, bubble boy gave him a medal too, same as Martin Luther King, Jr......the medal of FREEEEEDUHHHHHM

      How’s that for a spit in the face.
