We only spoke of the war once, and she said that when the propaganda against the Jews started, at first people didn't believe it, but as they heard it more and more, they thought, "Can it be true?" Eventually, as we know, many did decide it was true.<br />I didn't argue with her, but I wondered at the time how they could stifle their consciences like that - didn't they know killing is wrong? I'm not wondering any more. I'm seeing it happen in my own country before my very eyes, as resistance to so-called "assisted suicide / mercy killing" is crumbling and the very people who should be standing up for the sick and suffering people in their care are announcing their willingness to kill them, like a palliative care centre in Quebec has done..Jule Kochnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-13173308579266202252014-09-02T23:35:42.308-04:002014-09-02T23:35:42.308-04:00 The White Rose inspired a generation of young pe...
