Aw. That’s a truly sad quote. True, but sad b/c whatever happened to the brother and sister in law?

It is one of those ” hard to put down books.” I highly recommend it.

I find this stuff fascinating! I love that quote, too. It reminds me of one from an excellent historical fiction book called “From Anna” about a German family fleeing German and coming to Canada during WWII. In it, the father’s brother and sister in law refuse to leave with the family and say “If all people of reason flee, who will speak the truth?”

Thank you, Carl. I hear ya. It took me 3 months. I thought of that too. We are so blessed to live in a time where we have as much freedom as we do. I’m so inspired by men like these.

With my schedule I don’t know if I could get through the 600 pages, but you have certainly now have me want to read it.

With both being Pastors I myself get Niemoller and Bonhoeffer confused. Your post did clear this up for me. Friends in the same circle and it was Niemoller who spent WW2 in the German prison cell. It has me wondering how our own churches would hold up if the governments put pressure on them like what happened in Germany.

Thank you so much for sharing! God Bless! 🙂

Oh how I would love to hear your grandmother’s story. If you have ever blogged about it, send me the link. I know that’s a deep topic to blog, especially being so close to you. Alan saw so much over there. That sort of thing was exactly why Gen. Eisenhower insisted they photograph as much ch as possible and make the German people do the clean up. Did you see Band of Brothers?
