Whispering Their Names

In September 1939, thousands of communists, social-democrats
and former trade union leaders were arrested in Germany. About
5,000 of them were sent to Sachsenhausen, as well as 900 Jews. At
the end of September 1939, there were 8,384 prisoners in the
camp. In November 1939, this number increased dramatically to
11,311 prisoners.

Georg Elser was also held here. He was a German cabinet maker
who planned and carried out an elaborate assassination attempt on
Adolf Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi leaders, on 8 November
1939 at the Bürgerbräukeller in Munich.

I hope you are moved by what moved me.
