如果用馬英九最新的語言，就是「August Landmesser不替希特勒吹喇叭」。昨晚我在電視上看到馬英九突然說出「吹喇叭」這三個字，然後有點接不下去之時，我在他眼裡，看到一種說不出的尷尬和迷惘。不過這就是真實的馬英九，吹跟被吹，他都愛吧？
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 crowed, 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 labour 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.
