Hans and Sophie Scholl Monument
Hans and Sophie were part of the White Rose resistance group in Nazi-Germany during WWII. Born in our hometown Ulm, they went to Munich to attend University. That’s where they fought against the fascist regime. Eventually Hans and Sophie were detained and decapitated on February 22nd 1943.
Memorial for the millions of Jews, killed in the Holocaust. The memorial is right in front of Ulm’s Synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis and rebuild in 2012 to be one of Ulm’s most impressive buildings.
Memorial for Rafael Blumenstock. Allegedly murdered by Neo-Nazis in downtown Ulm on November 4th 1990. More: https://kollektiv26.blackblogs.org/20...
We all fear the strange and everything that we don’t know.
They cast their net and use your worries as live bait.
Change facts, spread lies, lure you in and close the ties.
Alt-Right they’re called, but they are fascists on the rise.
Create a common enemy, pointing fingers without shame.
For all your sorrows, they give you someone to blame.
Not long before synagogues will burn again.
A century has passed; “German Angst” is back!
Fear will always lead to anger,
anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to untold suffering.
Can’t you see what they create?
They go around and spread their poison,
poison our minds.
Nothing more than fascists in disguise!
Please don’t be so blind.
Spreading like an epidemic, stories of a new-found enemy.
Rich old men stir the pot to protect white supremacy.
We call them “concerned citizens”. “Gotta take ‘em seriously”, they say - neglecting all the rest.
Then they step in to save the day.
Intimidating the opposition to seize power once again.
They are all harmless, until they get a uniform.
First they’ll come for migrants, drag them out of their own homes.
Then they’ll come for you, fall in line or choose your tomb.
