“Remembering means fighting” – the day of Ulrike Meinhof’s death
Ulrike Marie Meinhof - German left-wing journalist and founding member of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in West Germany. Born on October 1934 – murdered by the West German state on May 9, 1976...
"Ulrike, like the murdered revolutionaries of the first generation of the Red Army Faction, stood and fought for a project of liberation which, in times of imperialist wars against anti-colonial liberation movements and internal German continuation of fascism, broke with the system. This struggle knew only one way: the way towards social revolution. Only annihilation could break that resistance.
“We can only be suppressed if we stop thinking and stop fighting. People who refuse to quit the fight can not be oppressed – they either win or they die instead of losing and dying.” - Ulrike Meinhof
And even if so many were physically destroyed, murdered in jail, shot from behind in the streets, and killed in battle, they did not lose because their struggle lives on in our memories. The RAF, Movement 2nd of June, Revolutionary Cells and the Red Zora have become, along with thousands of people worldwide, links in the chain of history of resistance of societies against oppression and exploitation. For us they are part of the heritage in which we continue."
