European History - speaking against hitler


Expert: Max Kimball - 7/23/2008

Question
did anyone speak out against Hitler's injustice towards millions of people and if so what happened to them

Answer
Hi Jenesa,

I'll be glad to help with your question.

Assuming that you're asking about whether there were Germans who openly opposed Hitler, the answer is not really. That doesn't mean that no one in Germany objected to Hitler's actions, goals, or views - plenty did. But, Hitler was effective at suppressing opposition. Of course, violence was certainly used as a tool to silence critics.

Germans who opposed Hitler tended to leave Germany, because they understood that their opposition would not be tolerated. Germans who opposed Hitler and did not leave Germany generally remained silent, since acting otherwise would have been life-threatening.

I hope that this is helpful, Jenesa.

- Max
