“The real damage is done by those millions who want to ‘survive’. Those with no sides and no causes.”
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the death of Sophie Scholl, a German activist who spoke out against the Nazi regime and was a member of a non-violence protest group called The White Rose. The group mainly consisted of students in their early twenties who opposed the fascist rule of the Nazis and distributed leaflets urging their fellow Germans to oppose the regime through non-violent resistance. On 22nd February 1943, after the release of the sixth White Rose leaflet, Sophie was arrested by the Gestapo, convicted of treason and executed that same day by guillotine. She was 21 years old.
