Yesterday I was walking through the old town yesterday, somehow expecting a protest I could join in.
Then i was stopped by tourists, asking me what those brass cobblestones ment. I explained, calmly, like a tour guide, the concept of Stolpersteine.
Turned and walked away, fighting back the tears.

It takes on a deeper meaning now. For most of my life, anti-fascism was necessary, but in a completely different way than it is now.

Talking to friends and relatives can be a good start. Joining a democratic party, organizing a local event, donating to resistance groups or writing to your MP can also work.

For me, that's helpful - “just” writing on social media and especially reading all the despair in your own echo chamber won't solve the problem.

Join parties, join unions. Start talking to people outside your bubble.

Yes to all of that!
