Facebook sent me this 5 days ago. I’m still trying to get my head around why and how what I recommended became “dangerous” organizations and individuals.
The -dangerous- organization I referenced was the White Rose Society, a non-violent, intellectual group (of 6 people) who were part of the resistance in Nazi Germany. The White Rose was founded in 1942 by several students at the University of Munich, including Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans. The members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to stop injustice and genocide. Several were beheaded for GRAFFITI. Scholl’s book was linked.
The -dangerous- person was William Shirer and his book Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, a study on what happened, how it happened, and the atrocities committed. Other of his works are Berlin Diary, and Collapse of the Third Republic. Which all should be required reading.
Please pick up these books, see the parallels to today. Less than 4 years, probably less than one, and we all will be living in what most are saying CAN’T/WON’T happen here. It is. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.
