The 100th birthday of Sophie Scholl, b. 5/9/1921, who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 for her role as a member of the White Rose, a circle of young people who distributed leaflets denouncing the crimes of the regime. She was 21. She saw and spoke the truth. Her spirit lives.

“Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.” —Sophie Scholl

She threw fire bombs, and killed average working people trying to survive a war.
Stole medicine, and food from hospitals. Then dumped them into a river. To destroy them.
This is what you call a Hero??
Today she would defrost vacancies, and pour them into the streets!

There is an excellent German film about her and that event.
