QUOTE: How can we
expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give
himself up individually to a righteous cause. Such a fine, sunny day, and I
have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people
are awakened and stirred to action?
AUTHOR: Sophia Magdalena Scholl (9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and Christian anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany.
She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing
anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich (LMU) with her brother Hans. As a
result, they were both executed by guillotine. Since the 1970s, Scholl has been
extensively commemorated for her anti-Nazi resistance work.
She was the daughter of the liberal politician Robert Scholl, an ardent
critic of the Nazis.
