Quotes

  • Hopefully the day of vengeance and retaliation is not far off. The worse the oppression, the closer the dawn to liberation. Our hottest wish is that this will happen soon, that the German city of Marburg should be freed from windy violence and terror as soon as possible . But the most honorable memory of the Marburg martyrs!

Fizia on the “ Marburg Blood Sunday ”, when thirteen German citizens and workers were killed in a demonstration on January 27, 1919 by soldiers of the SHS Army.
