Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast , from the Canary Islands to the world.
The other day, searching for information about the Holocaust, I discovered a literary criticism of the work "The Boy in the Striped Pijamas." The criticism did not come from just any place, but from a museum that is in the most horrible of places: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial on Twitter. I quote: “Anyone who studies or teaches the history of the Holocaust should avoid reading The Boy in the Striped PIjamas.”
Frankly, it is difficult for me because I am dedicated to raising awareness, but it is not fair to say that it is impossible for a German child to have empathy for another child. That is denying that there were Germans who were against it, because they ended up in concentration camps. I will give them names:
-The White Rose: was a group organized in Nazi Germany during World War II, which advocated non-violent resistance against the regime, led by five students and a professor from the University of Munich: Willi Graf, Kurt Huber, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl. The group carried out a campaign of anonymous pamphlets and graffiti that called for active opposition to the Nazi regime. Their activities began in Munich in June 1942 and ended on February 18, 1943 with the arrest of the group's main members by the Gestapo.
-Claus von Staufenberg: He is known for planning and being a central figure in a frustrated attack against Hitler, which is historically called the "July 20 plot" of 1944, the most important of the assassination attempts against Hitler. After the failure of the coup, he was sentenced and shot for high treason by one of those involved, specifically, General Fromm. He is considered a hero of the German resistance.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer: The Gestapo closed the seminary in 1937 and prohibited him from preaching, teaching and finally speaking in public. The seminar then operated in the von Blumenthal stadium in Gross Schlönwitz, but was closed again when the war broke out. The resistance, with which Bonhoeffer collaborated, had been active since before the Second World War. During this period, Bonhoeffer maintained close contacts with Carl Friedrich Goerdeler and worked closely with numerous opponents of Hitler.
