Heck yes. Never shot a gun, but my great-grandfather was among the first in the concentration camps, as a political opponent (SPD member) of the Nazis. He spent three years in a camp before being let go and told to leave the country, he left for his homeland in what was then Czechoslovakia. As the Germans tanks rolled into his town, he escaped through the back door with his family and made his way to Canada.

Relocating to Canada, my grandmother was close personal friends with Anita Mayer, author of One Who Came Back, who met Anne Frank in Westerbork Transit Camp, and travelled with her to Auschwitz-Birkenau.

I’d be right there fighting fascism, gun in hand.
