“One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand #splendid suns that hide behind her walls.”

Sophie Scholl was a leading member of The White Rose, a student-led anti-Nazi resistance group who printed leaflets encouraging Germans to reject Nazi philosophy. The White Rose became an influential example of student resistance, and its members recognized as heroes. Photos are mug shots of Sophie Scholl after her arrest by the Gestapo, along with her supposed last words before her execution by the state at age 21. #splendid #InspiredNewYear

Buechersuechtling Thanks for your posting. I didn‘t know that those are supposedly her last words. They broke my heart. 💔 But they would have, regardless from who they were. 4y
Andrea313 @Buechersuechtling The full quote of her last words reads, "It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives? What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted? Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt." ??? 4y

mommyincolortv My mom loves this movie. Ive seen it twice and its ok. I mean, to me Bud is just a horny teenager who does what horny teenagers do. My favorite movie about teens from the a different era is Cooley High. It's about Black teenagers in Chicago's South Side if you haven't seen it. 4y
