Feel that tension in the air? Look up, and you'll see the bold neon letters spelling '8 November 1939'. It's more than just a date; it's an act of incredible courage.

As you glance to the west, you can see the vibrant city that Elser hoped to protect with his sacrifice. Take a moment to reflect on that courage.
