"I say, the fundamental idea of our life, it is and remains the service of freedom, of freedom not as a vague concept, but a freedom bound to self-discipline, which makes it its task to demand freedom for yourself, that one is ready to give to one's fellow man. However, this freedom is threatened to the same extent today as it was on July 20, 1944. Just as National Socialism was then. "
