The man who risked everything to oppose the culture of death

The man who risked everything to oppose the culture of death | LifeSiteNews.com: The only judge to stand up to the Nazis outlived the “1000-year Reich” by forty-one years. Twenty years after his death, Germany held a memorial honoring Lothar Kreyssig's bravery and compassion.

In a culture where “go along to get along” was literally a survival strategy, Kreyssig refused to be silent. When the majority of German Potestants adapted the faith to the demands of the Reich, he refused to go along and made it clear that there was a higher law. Thankfully, defending the sanctity of life nowadays doesn’t require anything like Kreyssig’s courage.
