especially in RW propaganda has a long history and unfortunately continues with false 'antifa' claims today. Seventy-five years ago, members of the White Rose group appealed through the power of language and words in the pamphlets they wrote and distributed calling out the brutal reality of the Nazis. Their activism cost them the highest price, their lives. Truth always wins, even in the end is my hope.
