What’s up with “eponyms”?
Speaking of -nym words, “Batman” is an “aptronym” (a name that suits its owner) and a “pseudonym” (a fake name, in his case, of Bruce Wayne). Batman the hero is also “anonymous” (in the sense that people don’t know his true identity) and “synonymous” with “crime fighter” or “vigilante.”

This handsome man is Hans Scholl, one of the founding members of the White Rose. They were a bunch of kick-ass students and teachers who resisted the Nazi movement with non-violence. He started it with his sister Sophie and a few other students. They put graffiti all over Munich and handed out leaflets declaring Germany should be free of Nazis. Sadly, the members were captured by the Nazis. Hans was executed February 22 1943 at the age of 24. Not only was he part of a resistance group, he was gorgeous as well.
