We Will Not Be Silent

Hans Scholl

"Every people deserves the regime it is willing to endure. But now the end is at hand. Now it is our task to find one another again, to spread information from person to person, to keep a steady purpose, and to allow ourselves no rest until the last man is persuaded of the urgent need of his struggle against this system."

Hans Scholl, twenty-four, was executed February 22, 1943, for refusing to remain silent.

"...By means of gradual, treacherous, systematic abuse, the system has put every man into a spiritual prison. Only now, finding himself lying in fetters, has he become aware of his fate. …
If everyone waits until the other man makes a start, the messengers of avenging Nemesis will come steadily closer; then even the last victim will have been cast senselessly into the maw of the insatiable demon. Therefore every individual, conscious of his responsibility as a member of humanity and Democratic civilization, must defend himself as best he can at this late hour, he must work against the scourges of mankind, against fascism and any similar system of totalitarianism. Offer passive resistance - resistance - wherever you may be, forestall the spread of this fascist, kakistocratic machine before it is too late! " #WhiteRose #revival #ResistFascism

Today in 1943, Sophie Scholl of the White Rose Nazi resistance group was arrested by the Gestapo for writing and distributing leaflets against the regime. Her death sentence was carried out only four days later. She was 21.

We remember her and her fellow White Rose members' courageous resistance.

Today in Labor History February 18, 1943: The Nazis arrested the members of the White Rose movement. The activist group called for opposition to the Nazi regime through an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign. The Nazis put on a show trial in which none of the defendants were allowed to speak. They executed Hans and Sophie Schol, and Christoph Probst on February 22, 1943. White Rose leaflets openly denounced the persecution and mass murder of the Jews. They might have taken their name from the poem "Cultivo una rosa blanca," by Cuban revolutionary and poet, Jose Marti. Alternatively, they may have gotten it from the B. Traven novel, “Die Weiße Rose” (The White Rose).” Traven served on the Central Council of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic. He escaped the terror that followed the crushing of the Republic and fled to Mexico, where he wrote numerous novels, including “Death Ship” and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.”

Hitlers words - "It is unbelievable, to what extent one must betray a people in order to rule it." If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the good, so that it was kept under control. As it grew larger, however, and finally in an ultimate spurt of growth attained ruling power, the tumour broke open, as it were, and infected the whole body. The greater part of its former opponents went into hiding. The [American Liberals] intellectuals, & Democrats fled to their cellars, there, like plants struggling in the dark, away from light and sun, gradually to choke to death. Now the end is at hand. Now it is our task to find one another again, to spread information from person to person, to keep a steady purpose, and to allow ourselves no rest until the last man is persuaded of the urgent need of his struggle against this system. When thus a wave of unrest goes through the land, when "it is in the air," when many join the cause, then in a great final effort this system can be shaken off. After all, an end in terror is preferable to terror without end." #WhiteRose

NOT to build fear but it might be a good time to revisit the #WHITEROSE of German Resistance for inspiration

#Today I

1. Donned shorts and flip-flops for the first time this year. Croc ones and they were too uncomfortable. I popped in White Rose and they had a Nike pair. They are sooo comfy

2. Did a photo shoot at my friends studio. I brought costumes and hats for people to wear for my photo groups Funny Photos exhibition we are doing.

3. Spent the rest of the day outside the pub with my friends in the sun.
