This seems an excellent day to post a pic of the burning Reichstag in Berlin. Hitler blamed the 1933 fire on communists and used it as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and to allow the Nazis to peruse "ruthless confrontation" with German citizens.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.
We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.
