Zivilcourage
could be translated as “civil courage” or “courage of the citizen” and is used in German to denote the courage to act publicly against oppression. Zivilcourage is about not remaining silent when someone is being threatened or attacked on the train, when Nazi youth culture starts dominating whole regions or when refugees are being treated like third-class citizens. Zivilcourage is about daily-life solidarity with those whose rights are not being respected.
