		She lost her husband in Dachau six weeks before the end of the war and has recently had to bear the loss of her son, a fine cellist named Raphael Sommer, who was with her in the concentration camp from the age of six.

		Alice Sommer Herz is convinced that it was music which kept her, and many others, alive in those unimaginable circumstances and, listening to her today, one cannot but believe it.

		No matter how hazy Kennedy’s, Johnson’s, Nixon’s, or Bush’s understanding of that commandment was/is, it was crystal clear to Thich Quang Duc, Alice Herz, Norman Morrison, Roger LaPorte, George Winne, and all the others I don’t know about.
		Those people could see something that no President to date has ever seen- the truth that war is immoral, that it is a crime, that it is murder.
		Morrison, Herz, and LaPorte were so sure that the U.S. government was wrong that they killed themselves to protest against it.

	Murder By Suicide
		Then, with the mid- 20th century deaths of numerous artists and writers (between, say, Virginia Woolf in 1938 and Anne Sexton in 1974), suicide came to be taken as an aesthetic statement, a subject of literary and philosophical debate.
		The Vietnam War saw the protesting self-immolations of Buddhist monks in Saigon and then of American pacifists (like Alice Herz, Norman Morrison, and Roger LaPorte in 1965).
		Such suicides, whatever else one made of them, were powerful political statements.

		That summer, the Vietnam Day Committee in northern California attempted to block munitions trains by lying on the tracks; hundreds of people were arrested for civil disobedience in Washington; and public burnings of draft cards began.
		Moral witness was taken to its ultimate by Norman Morrison, a 32-year-old Quaker who drenched himself with gasoline and set himself on fire outside the Pentagon; the pacifist Roger La Porte, who immolated himself at the United Nations; and 82-year-old Alice Herz, who burned herself to death in Detroit to protest against the war.
		By 1971, civil disobedience was so widespread that the number arrested in that spring's demonstration in Washington -- 14,000 -- would have been considered a good-size march in 1965.

		If we Friends could only admit and reconcile ourselves to our losses, then maybe we could teach the world how a massive war resistance campaign should be waged before the war, not during it, of course!
		I suggest that we think for a moment about Alice Herz and Norman Morrison, the two Friends who publicly immolated themselves in protest of the Vietnam war.
