Wilhelm Brasse. 3 December 1917 - 23. October 2012

RE: Wilhelm Brasse. 3 December 1917 - 23. October 2012
WOW! @ The_Germans_are_coming.

Talk about a gasolene + matches topic. Three days for the thread to cool off.

A while ago I read a book which eventually lead me to another book - quotes from which in turn lead me to Elie Wiesel's haunting holocaust book ''Night''.

...which lead me to this Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

Quote:...There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention: victims of hunger, of racism and political persecution — in Chile, for instance, or in Ethiopia — writers and poets,
prisoners in so many lands governed by the Left and by the Right...

Full speech here. It's great!!!

Quote:...Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.

Sounds a bit like an Atheism Plus thread starting off.
