This is the traditional dress of young, unmarried girls in the "Oldland" near Hamburg. Sharing; because Germany is not only the Dirndl. The Dirndl is Bavaria. There are so more folklore dresses and so much beautiful things to learn about them! Source: FolkCostum & Embroidery

Radical Evil: How We Became Mass Murderers (Nazi Documentary) | Real Sto...

We are all monsters.. it's the ones who are sleeping that are the most dangerous. It is they who do not realize the danger they themselves are doing.

Many of the people who are considered evil or monsters in history were actually ordinary people with no psychological disorder whatsoever. They were simply people doing what they thought in the time were right. That's not to say there weren't people who didn't do things that they knew were wrong the majority of humans participated in war crimes that they sincerely thought was part of a process.

There isn't a single one of us who isn't capable of reenacting such behavior if driven in the right circumstance. A lot of people want to portray themselves like they would be a hero or hide people like the Jews in their house but the odds are that you wouldn't because people didn't.

The Nazis feared journalist Carl von Ossietzky so much that they sent him to a concentration camp. Could winning the Nobel Peace Prize save his life?

Issue no. 158, “The Good Traitor,” is now live:

Ossietzky’s health had worsened. Karl Wloch, a journalist for the communist newspaper Die Rote Fahne who was interned at Esterwegen in 1936, was “shocked to his core” the first time he met Ossietzky. “What I saw living on that sack of hay were just his eyes; he hardly moved his mouth when he asked me short questions,” Wloch later said. “I had to listen carefully in order to understand him.” Ossietzky asked for the latest news from Berlin and listened closely as Wloch reported what he knew. “He wasn’t at all world-weary,” Wloch recalled, “although he knew how difficult it would be to come out of the grasp of the SS executioners alive.”

Their conversation turned to cases of suicide in the camps. “Whether we survive is neither certain nor the main point,” Ossietzky insisted. “But how people think about us later is as important as that they think about us. In that, our future lies. Thus, we have to keep living here as long as we breathe. A Germany that thinks of us will be a better Germany.”
