What do you propose we do today? I'm waiting till it's right in front of my nose, more than suppositions and threats (which are terrifying). Then I will act as best I can. Now all I can do is support the organization "The Women's March" which actually has petitions to sign and letters to write. Other that that, what can we do today? In January of 2017 I said, "I know how the German housewives felt.' I made a body of work called "Child's Play in the Time of Trump" (louisewilliamsimages.com)in which all the character's heads were doll's heads. The final image in the series was a monk like character standing in front of an elaborate gate. Behind him was a conflagration. I saw it then and yet here we are today.
Chris Andrews: Pfarrer Martin Niemöller, despite these words, was far from silent. Pfarrer Niemöller was a co-founder of the Bekennende Kirche (Confessing Church), with Rudolf Bultmann, Karl Barth, Friedrich Gogarten, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
The Confessing Church separated from the Nazis and boldly claimed that all, including Jews, in Christ were One.
In 1938, Bonhoeffer spent months in New York in a position of honor at Union Theological Seminary, and leading theologians asked Bonhoeffer to stay.
Bonhoeffer would have been safe in New York with his German in exile friends, chiefly, the great Paul Tillich.
Tillich's book was burnt in 1933; and Tillich left for America for Union Theological Seminary that year.
Bonhoeffer returned to Germany; engaged in espionage against the Nazi state; leagued with planned assassins of Hitler; was tortured and imprisoned by the Gestapo; was executed on personal order of Heinrich Himmler in April, 1945, within a month of war's end.
Pastor Martin Niemöller and others were what remained of opposition within the Third Reich, the most of which were at the University of Marburg with Rudolf Bultmann and Friedrich Gogarten.
It is because of people like these that there was ANY foundation left to rebuild a Democracy after the end of the Third Reich.
Yeah, this was how it started, and it continues today with Project 2025!
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
