Sophie Scholl , how many of you knew about this brave young woman?
Guest posted a topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
I was very fascinated when I lately came to knew about this brave young woman who defied nazis with her simple act of printing pamphlets against them and throwing them in university of munich. She apparently ran a group of nazi german resistance group called 'the white rose'. She, and her brother were caught red handed by the dean of the uni who was a nazi himself and reported them to the nazis . She stood up against the vile nazi judge feisler and her last words to him were "You will soon stand where we stand" . After a few days , she , her brother and one more of their aide were guillotined in the stadelheim prison. Her executioner (who died later as an outcast, impoverished man) had said she was the bravest person who walked to her death. As if god's justice to her , the foul-mouthed judge fiesler died in the same court building when american missiles hit the building during WW2, just a few meters away from where sophie stood and said her prophetic words. Her last pamphlet, the seventh edition of their work was taken by a spy from germany to UK , and from there allies made millions of copies of it and rained it all over berlin just a few months after her martyrdom. What a brave brave woman ! Not a kaur, but not any less !!
