Johann Trollmann
In 2003, Johann Trollman was declared German Light heavyweight champion ... of 1933. As Roma, he fought covered in flour to mock racism.
But, I actually believe that @kanyewest may have been trying to touch a deeper question: why are there some extraordinary people who appear to be mentally free even in physical Prison? Witold Pilecki, Nelson Mandela, and Johann Trollman to name a few.

@Real__State @Emmyjewel Or a seriously talented artist takes me seriously enough to sketch me? Damnnnn.
This Holocaust remembrance day, do you want to be part of an uplifting story? This man wasn’t a Jew. He was Sinti. And he has been my personal hero for decades.
First: Search “Johann Trollmann”.
Did you read that story? Amazing, Right?! Ok!
Question: How do we keep it alive?
If you can and care to, put it in your own words how it affected you. If you know a great film maker, songwriter, poet or artist, share it with them and see if it moves them. I’d appreciate it so much.
This story has it all. One soul, against evil. Standing his ground.
Thanks.
[Note: There is a film from Germany and he has been covered before as in the above sculpture...but what I am talking about is making this story viral through art at an entirely different scale: https://t.co/Ziv8dzjJYg]
Holocaust Remembrance Day.
A non-Jewish Sinti hero of mine from the time: Johann Trollmann.
If you don’t know his story, take a minute to read it on line. You won’t want that minute back. It’s a tale of courage and what masculinity can be at its best.
There are always real heroes among us. A champion of 1933, and all time.
@PanPiaskowy With you:
@portmantoet I have said we should have an entire month dedicated to Pilecki. With you. There are no words.
