Just finished watching a newly released (on DVD) film titled: "Sophie Scholl..The Final Days." It is a true story, based on the student underground organization known as The White Rose, which distributed anti-Nazi literature on the Munich Campus in 1943. I tell you, it left me with a large lump in my throat. I don't know if I would have had the courage of my convictions as these young people did...to speak out against the horrors and brutaliy of Hitler's regime and to pay the price for it. If you are like me, and have wondered why more Germans didn't speak out...this is a humbling movie to watch. I'll leave it at that.
