Let us also remember all the young Germans who joined The White Rose - the 9/12 movement of its day.

Young people with their whole lives ahead of them who chose to put those lives on the line to speak up against tyranny.

The most known was a beautiful German girl names Sophie Scholl.

Here is a GREAT movie about her last 4 days of life.

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine by the Third Reich after she was arrested and found guilty of distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at her college campus and for this she was beheaded along with several of the other brave young God-fearing people of the “White Rose”, an underground Nazi resistance movement. This is a dramatization of that event, it is a movie that will not leave you and will have you thinking about it for days after viewing. I highly recommend this film. I found myself drawn into this movie like few other movies will do. This is brilliant stuff. The tension becomes almost unbearable. The depiction of Freisler (The judge), which might seem over the top, but is quite consistent with accounts and actual film clips of the trial, maybe even understated. He was diabolical, tyrannical and very hot tempered.

Watch the Trailer:

Yes. A few fleeting moments of a life, captured forever by the camera, reveal so much about the girl. She looks down on the happy couple, calls her mother to come and look, probably dreams of her own wedding someday. Poignant and so very sad.
