Thoreau

Eons ago in my last year of college, John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice was the text book for my political science class. The class was assigned to write about the factors that led to Nazi Germany’s murderous rampage. What characteristics did the fascists (and their supporters) have in common? I decided to write about Nazi Germany from a different angle. I wrote about the people who had resisted the fascists. They shared characteristics in common. Those who had resisted fascism had integrity, compassion, and a conscience.
