THE WHITE ROSE NAZI RESISTANCE GROUP/ WW11. Germany
Excerpt from their third leaflet:

  • But the present “state” is the dictatorship of evil. “Oh, we’ve known that for a long time,” I hear you object, “and it isn’t necessary to bring that to our attention again.” But, as I ask you, if you know that, why do you not rouse yourselves, why do you allow these men in power to rob you step by step, both openly and in secret, of one of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanized state system presided over by criminals and drunkards? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right — or rather, your moral duty — to eradicate this system?

  • But if a man can no longer summon the strength to demand his right, then he will definitely perish. We would deservedly be scattered over the earth like dust in the wind if we do not marshal our powers at this late hour and finally find the courage we have lacked up to now. Do not hide your cowardice behind a cloak of expedience, for with every new day that you hesitate, failing to oppose this offspring of Hell, your guilt, like a parabolic curve, grows higher and higher.

  • Many, perhaps most, of the readers of these leaflets cannot see clearly how they can mount an effective opposition. They cannot see any avenues open to them. We want to try to show them that everyone is in a position to contribute to the overthrow of this system. Solitary withdrawal, like embittered hermits, cannot prepare the ground for the overthrow of this “government” or bring about the revolution at the earliest possible moment. No, it can only be done through the cooperation of many convinced energetic people — people who agree on the means they must use to attain their goal. We have few choices as to these means. The only one available is passive resistance.

Additionally, these leaflets and commentary are included in the Gestapo Interrogation Transcripts, Volume 5. They were preserved for us because the Gestapo's crime lab used the typewriters they had confiscated to re-type the leaflets and determine which typewriter had been used to create which leaflets.

WHITE ROSE NAZI RESISTANCE GROUP

On Feb. 22, 1943, Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, and Christoph Probst were executed for their role in urging students to rise up and overthrow the Nazi government.
They were members of the White Rose, who organized nonviolent resistance to Hitler, and were arrested for printing and distributing anti-Nazi flyers.

A l’heure où, en France comme en Europe, les discours xénophobes se banalisent, où l’on ne cesse que d’opposer les peuples entre eux, où la défiance envers les autres se renforce et le rempli sur soi s’intensifie, garder vivante la mémoire de ses résistants étrangers morts pour la France est un devoir.

Rendons hommage à ses hommes et ses femmes, qui par leur engagement, ont fait preuve d’un courage sans faille, afin de défendre leurs idéaux et de défendre la France. Du courage, Missak Manouchian en aura jusqu’à son dernier souffle. Face au tribunal militaire allemand qui le condamna à mort le 19 février 1944, il déclara : « Vous, je n’ai rien à vous dire. J’ai fait mon devoir qui était de vous combattre. Je ne regrette rien de ce que j’ai fait ».

Quel ironie de voir que Macron pantheoniser le groupe Manouchian alors qu il porte les idées de l extrême droite au pouvoir et dans la société française en général.

Que ceux qui aujourd’hui font campagne contre l’accueil des réfugiés dans notre pays mesurent combien ils tournent le dos à notre Histoire et renient ce que nous sommes.

Governments will ignore their treaties and will send you to die and to murder.

Accordingly, while we welcome each and every effort for #disarmament and the peaceful settlement of controversies, we cannot place any considerable reliance upon pacts made by #governments which stand prepared for #war. …

The method of war #resistance, accordingly, is the continuous organization of men and women for the #refusal of all support to war, whether by bearing arms, subscribing to war funds, or performing non-combatant service as an aid to winning the war.

--Jessie Wallace Hughan, founder of War Resisters League

A quotation from Le Guin, Ursula

Books aren’t just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.

Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) American writer
Speech, accepting the National Book Foundation Medal (19 Nov 2014)

Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz (25 October 1920 – 14 February 2002) was a member of the French Resistance and served as president of ATD Quart Monde. Her uncle was General Charles de Gaulle.

Geneviève de Gaulle joined the Resistance after the occupation of France in June 1940 and expanded its publicity networks, in particular that of Défense de la France. She was arrested by Pierre Bonny of the French Gestapo on 20 July 1943, imprisoned in Fresnes and deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp on 2 February 1944.

In October 1944, de Gaulle was placed in isolation in the camp bunker. Heinrich Himmler made the decision to keep her alive to use her as a possible exchange prisoner. She was released in April 1945. In 1946 she married Bernard Anthonioz, a fellow resistance member and art editor, with whom she had four children.
