I decided that the continous text of #BTraven's #DieWeißeRose doesn't lend it self to being posted in toots. You can still find it as PDF files at these links:

I started reading #DieWeißeRose by #BTraven. It's about an oil company that wants to buy up farmland in Mexico. The indigenous farm owner however argues that the farm has fed his kin for many generations and that he owes it to future generations to keep it that way. That book is 94 years old and constantly drops arguments about sustainability, corporate expansionism, the environment vs fossile oil.
I'm thinking about ways to post the book here as a continuing story. #kbooks -
The #WhiteRose memorial on Geschwister #Scholl Platz in #Munich, right in front of the University, is one of the most beautiful and impressive of its kind. When you walk around there, you might notice flyers lying around on the cobblestone. And then you notice that these are *their* flyers. And they're made of white marble.
Today, 80 years ago, Sophie #Scholl, her brother Hans and their friend Christoph #Probst were murdered by the Nazi regime.
