A Little Bit of History
On my way to work this morning I listened to a CD of Grimm Fairy Tales read in German to brush up. As I was listening my mind wanderred to random things and sparked some surfing when I first got to work this morning…
I stumbled on a bunch of sites that I’ve been facinated with for years related to a group called ‘Die Weiße Rose’ and I figured I’d share.. This group was a small collection of German College Students in Munich during World War II that had the balls to speak out against the regeme in power and paid for it with their life… I’ve always found them inspirational and every time I read more I find more that amazes me…
If you’ve got some time and want a little history check out these sites… Well worth exploring:
and for the German speakers among you:
• Die Weiße Rose - - eine Ausstellung der “Weißen Rose-Stiftung”, München (don’t mind the ‘name’ dialog - they’re just being clever and plugging your name into a welcome dialog)
