The lawyer Fritz Bauer answered this question of our “Democracy Workshop” for schoolchildren through his own life. Even as a child, Bauer experienced anti-Semitic hostility at school. He experienced the injustices associated with this at first hand. As a schoolboy, this made him want to become a policeman with a sabre. However, his mother did not encourage him in his childish doubts about the injustices of the world. Instead, she gave him the “Golden Rule”, which is known in almost all religions: “Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself.”.
