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.
Conversation
“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
(The first part)
The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes.
