I think you're right. I wonder, is Salman Rushdie still in hiding? :-?
He pops his head up from time to time, mainly when plugging another book.

These young people are some of Germany's greatest heroes, often overlooked when non-Germans discuss or consider that period in history.

I'm surprised that someone actually mentions this here.

The members of the "Weisse Rose" sure were courageous, but theres something I have to add, also in the direction of the conspiracy of the 20th of June 1944: they all acted too late.
Why did they not raise their voices in, let

Nope. Surprisingly, only very few people ever read "Mein Kampf", in which Hitler's aims were stated. That book was either not even touched or not taken seriously.
