Review of Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005) by Hannah I — 13 Nov 2007
"If a state prevents the development of the capacities which reside in man, if it interferes with the progress of the human spirit, then it is reprehensible and injurious, no matter how excellently devised, how perfect in its own way.
Its very permanence in that case amounts more to a reproach than to a basis for fame; it be comes a prolonged evil, and the longer it endures, the more harmful it is...." (From the first pamphlet).
Sophie, Hans, Willi, and the others who were the White Rose lived out what they believed. National Socialism's disregard for individual's freedom of speech or thought could not extinguish the passion of such people, for their ideas lived beyond their time here.
How can I live like they did?
