    (Actual photo background: As you might guess, this one is kinda tragic. August Landmesser had been a loyal nazi for years but fell in love with a Jewish woman, Irma Eckler, to whom he proposed marriage in 1935. The marriage was denied under the Nuremberg laws. He was later arrested, acquitted for lack of evidence, then arrested again, his wife and children soon to follow.

    This is how I feel when I don’t stand to sing a patriotic song at US public events.
