All that Philthy would describe as "the goods"- everything silly/thought-provoking/awesome he finds worth mentioning whilst dicking around on the interweb. Support my drinking habit by purchasing a couple beer koozies at 40cozy.com. 20% of all proceeds go to our company beer fund.

Photo reblogged from We Sort ~ Blog. with 34,707 notes

Ordinary people. The courage to say no. The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman. We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.
