What happened on Sunday April 18, 1937?

Here's what happened on April 18, 1937:

• Peaceful Hymn Protest Against Nazi Oppression in Schüttorf In a remarkable act of non-violent resistance, several hundred residents of Schüttorf, Nazi Germany, gathered at the town hall to protest the arrest of Friedrich Middendorff, their local Lutheran pastor from the Evangelical-Reformed Church. Instead of engaging in confrontational demonstrations, the protesters chose a powerful symbolic method of resistance by singing hymns continuously for several hours. Their peaceful protest successfully pressured the Gestapo to release Middendorff. Following his release, Middendorff and his family made the difficult decision to flee Germany, escaping further potential persecution.
• Tragic Peasant Demonstration in Racławice A significant peasant demonstration occurred in Racławice, a historically symbolic location known for a pivotal 1792 battle where peasant soldiers played a crucial role in Polish military history. The peaceful gathering in the agricultural fields was violently disrupted by police intervention, resulting in the tragic deaths of three peasants. This event highlighted the ongoing tensions between rural populations and state authorities in pre-World War II Poland.
