“Mmm,” she answered, “they were good.” “Mother, you didn’t
eat those birds!” he said, unable to contain his shock. “Those birds cost five
thousand dollars apiece. They could dance, they could sing, and they could
talk!” “Well,” she calmly replied, “then they should’ve said something.”
This
funny story points out how important it is for us to speak up when confronted
with danger. If we see our freedoms eroding around us and are afraid to stand
up for what we value, we too will ultimately end up in the stew like those
birds. Most Germans did not agree with Hitler’s insane agenda, but their
collective silence permitted an unimaginable human tragedy that stained world
history known as the Holocaust. How might their nation’s history and our
world’s history have played out differently if those who saw what was happening
had taken a stand for what they believed?
