On this day, October 16, 1946 10 Germans found guilty at the International Military Tribunal at Nürnberg were executed by hanging.

Twenty seven years earlier to the day, October 16, 1919 Adolf Hitler gave his first public address at a meeting of the German Workers Party.

Imagine, on the first night that Nazis called to people’s doors to take them away had their neighbours said you can’t to this, what might not have happened?

Had the locomotive drivers said no, we are not going to drive the trains to the concentration camps, what might not have happened?

When we see evil happening we all have the privilege and responsibility to call it out for what it is and say stop.
