Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl Claudy, and is brought to us by Bro Alexander Peratore, Cornerstone #216, Portland ME. As the specter of World War II was rising in Europe, Freemasonry was being suppressed, Temples were being closed, and the intent of totalitarian regimes were to eradicate free thought. Here, we find Freemasonry’s response. Listen with an open mind to this historically poignant address to our Grandparents, and cherish the fact of their rising to the occasion.
