'When the sixteen-year-old seamstress
came before the magistrate in Czernowitz,
she was invited to show why
she had distributed tracts in which
call was made for revolution, which brings imprisonment.
As reply, she stood up and sang
the Internationale.
When the magistrate shook his head.
she shouted: ''Stand up! This
is the Internationale!''.'
(Bertolt Brecht 'The Sixteen-Year-Old Seamstress Emma Ries before the Magistrate')
