When most Americans think of #WWII, the story starts on December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But the United States had been edging toward war with Germany for several months before Japanese Zeros screamed over the Hawaiian Islands, as President Franklin D Roosevelt made clear with his “shoot-on-sight” Fireside Chat to the nation on September 11, 1941.

For the #History theme for this week's #JukeBoxFridayNight, here's "Prisoner" by Scottish folk singer Dick Gaughan. My father introdued me to this song and it's stuck with me. At the time I'd known nothing of German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky and his fate.
Caution: it's a grim song, with an uneasy message. We cannot let this history repeat.
"In the struggle against injustice
He fought hard and he fought long
Child - remember Ossietsky
Peace won't come by words alone" -
