84 years ago today, Yorta Yorta man William Cooper delivered a letter of protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne.
In it, he did what many of the world's powerful leaders were failing to do: condemn the Nazi government.
"On behalf of the Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia, we wish to have it registered and on record that we protest wholeheartedly at the cruel persecution of the Jewish people by the Nazi government in Germany.
We plead that you would make it known to your government and its military leaders that this cruel persecution of their fellow citizens must be brought to an end.”
