1/5
Woke up thinking of her today.

This 17-year-old girl chose to die rather than accept Socialism and name her anti-Nazi associates in February of 1943. . Every kid in the USA should see this photo and be taught about this girl's fate and the choices she made...
2/5 Her answer to the Nazi Socialists who offered to free her and not hang her if she gave up the names of her fellow fighters was
"You will know them when they come to avenge me."

▪︎ First came economic collapse in the 1920's. ...
3/5 ▪︎ Then came the rise of Socialism on a national model.
▪︎ Then began oppression of those deemed the cause of the economic collapse.
▪︎ Then the socialists banned personal firearms because the socialists intended to do something they feared the people would not want &
4/5 would be willing to fight against.
▪︎ Then came the nooses.

We've seen how devastating a medical crisis can be even to a strong economy. Our economy teeters on the brink... We need to remember the lessons of HISTORY

THIS is why we need HISTORY...
5/5 to live on and to leave it alone.
▪︎ HISTORY helps us become.
▪︎ HISTORY helps us evolve.
▪︎ HISTORY let's us never forget.

This brave girl deserves to be remembered . SHE DESERVES THE IMMORTALITY OF HISTORY.
Is history repeating itself?
Her name was Lepa Radić and she was a Bosnian Serb who fought with the partisans during WWII, but she never got to see the Nazis lose the war.

In February 1943, Lepa was captured. The Nazis tied a rope around her neck.
