And it was the most popular exhibition during the whole of the war.
2 million people, 2 million Germans saw this.
They went into this exhibition and they saw how horrible the Soviet Union is, how horrible communism is to people.
So it was a propaganda show.
And the group decided to make these leaflets, which didn't say the Soviet paradise, but it said the Nazi paradise, torture, SS torture, hunger, war, how long will it last?
And they glued over a thousand of these stickers everywhere in Berlin in May 1942 at night.
And they organized it in a way that always two men and a woman would go out and they had the stickers with them.
And then they would pretend to kiss and would lean on a wall.
And then while they were kissing, one would put the sticker on, then they would move on in the dark.
So in the morning of that May 1942,
tens of thousands of Berliners saw that the city was like, saw these things.
So does it make a difference?
It made one on that day, you know, it was a very dangerous thing to do and no one got caught.
And in the morning, a lot of people saw that there is actually resistance, that there are people who do something against it.
So I think they did something.
I mean, Haro was convinced that the system would lose.
So he thought that maybe we can make a contribution, that it's going faster.
Maybe we will be that spark.
So when I think that there's this possibility, I must try it.
That was his conviction.
