If only the White Rose Movement were taught in high school history classes outside of Germany.
Many of us in America and the UK want people across the world to know we don't always agree with the prejudices of other citizens or the actions of our governments. We of all people should recognize that citizens from other countries might feel the same way.
Those who demonstrate the courage to act on their conscience in deadly circumstances deserve our remembrance, compassion and respect.
Another example of such a sacrifice is the deportation and murder of the great French surrealist poet, Robert Desnos.
