Always remember Hans and Sophie Scholl, brother and sister, who were executed on Feb 22 1943 for their resistance to Hitler. By speaking the truth they hoped to awaken the conscience of Germany, inspire a moral uprising, or at least shatter the unanimity of consent.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
