Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage

"Die Sonne scheint noch"—"The sun still shines"
Those were the partial last words of Sophie Scholl before she was executed. Her actual last line was

"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?"

15 mins ago, i finished watching the movie - Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage.
It is based on the true story of Sophie Scholl who tried to raise her opinion again Nazis in Germany. It took only 6 days for her to get captured and be executed. In terms of cinema, the movie is very good, (Oscar nom 2005), but in terms of the life of Sophie Scholl, it was way better.

Researching more about her on wiki, i came across her last words (copied above). She and her brother were executed only because they were distributing flyers. Their moment's name was White rose and they were truely one of the non-violence oriented moments.


A strong spirit, a tender heart
Now we go, but it is a start
Afraid not, the sun still shines
Take your hand and draw its lines.
