Garden Of Beasts

To the memories of Hans and Sophie Scholl, brother and sister, executed in 1943 for anti-Nazi protests; journalist Carl von Ossietzky, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1935 while imprisoned in Oranienburg camp; and Wilhelm Kruzfeld, a Berlin police officer who refused to let a mob destroy a synagogue during the Nazi-sponsored anti-Jewish riots known as the Night of Broken Glass… four people who looked at evil and said, “No.”

“[Berlin] was full of whispers. They told of illegal midnight arrests, of prisoners tortured in the S.A. barracks… They were drowned by the loud angry voices of the Government, contradicting through its thousand mouths.”

– Christopher Isherwood, Berlin Stories
