Today in Labor History July 1, 1944: Willem Arondeus, a gay, Dutch, anti-Nazi resistance fighter was executed by the occupation forces, along with eleven others, for bombing the Amsterdam public records office in order to prevent Nazis from identifying Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. His final words were: "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."
