"we honour the memory of the peoples who suffered through war.
we remember their citizens who were persecuted.

and who lost their lives.

we remember those killed in action in the world wars.

we remember the innocent who lost their lives as a result of war in their homeland, in captivity and trough explosion"

"we remember the millions of jews who were murdered.

we remember the sinti and roma who were murdered. 

we remember all those who were killed because of their origin, homosexuality, sickness of infirmity.

we remember all who were murdered whose right to life was denied"

 "we remember the people who had to die because of their religious or political convictions.

we remember all those who were victims of tyranny and met their death, though innocent.

we remember the women and the men who sacrificed their lives in resistance to despotic rule.

we honour all who preferred to die rather than act against their conscience.

we honour the memory of the women and men who were persecuted and murdered because they resisted totalitarian dictatorship after 1945."

                                       that was "die neue wache".


the memorial of what i think it's an artificial selection.
not defenseble.
far from being weakened, he is strengthened.
the oppressor. the tyrant. the kingbird.
with the armies. 
he believes.
