The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Memorial day! A day set aside
for commemoration 'lest we forget"
those who gave their lives in heroic
struggles for the good of mankind.
Carl Won Ossietzky died May 4, in
confinement in Hospital in Berlin.
For six years he had suffered tortures
and Imprisonment at the hands of
the German government, and he died
as one of the greatest of modern mar
tyrs, giving his life for the cause of
peace.
Ossietzky, born in Hamburg in 1887,
actively joined the peace movement
in 1912. He did serve in the German
army during the war, but he came
out of the war with the firm convic-
ton "that there is nothing heroic in
war, but that it brings terror and
misery to mankind" He therefore
gave his efforts after the war to the
combating of the militarism which,
despite the disarmament and democ-
ratizing of Germany, still persisted
and threatened to seize power again.
In 1922 he helped found the "Nie
Wieder Krieg" Ono More Wary
movement, and as editor of 'Die Welt
buhne" after 1926 he fought courage
ously against the budding of the new
forms of the old militarism.
His brave fight resulted in lawsuits,
and in 1881 he was brought to trial
for an article written in 1929, expos
ing German secret rearmament in the
air. After secret trial he and a
friend were sentenced to ID months in
prison The government preferred to
see them flee the country, but when
the friend fled, Ossietzky wrote: 'The
man who is opposing the government
of his country and who leaves his
own land and goes across the bor-
der speaks with hollow voice to his
countrymen." Despite the insistent
pleas of his friends he refused to avail
himself of opportunities for flight and
went to prison.
Released in 1882, he was arrested
by the new Nazi government after the
Reichstag fire in 1888 as an enemy
of the state and sent to a torturous
concentration camp, where he suf-
fered great hardships that broke his
health and finally caused his death
three weeks ago. His case was dra-
matically brought to the attention
of the world in 1896 when the Nor
wegian government voted him the
Nobel peace prize. The Hitler gov
eminent was furious and prohibited
all future German acceptance of the
Nobel prize, and Ossietzky was
swindled out of most of the money
His name will 60 down in history,
however, as a great modern witness
in the cause of peace. He was great
Soldier" fighting-against war.
Lest we forget!
