A great page in the history of the German Resistance against Nazism

What a great book! What a tremendous prophetic witness! What caliber was therefore formed the six Germans, resistant to Nazism as the "die Weisse Rose" - The White Rose, who were executed as outcasts by the popular Nazi courts February 22, 1943 for Christoph Probst, Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, 13 July 1043 for Kurt Huber and Alexander Schmorell and 12 October 1943 for Willi Graf?

They were students of medicine, professor of philosophy and philosophy students, committed Catholics. They thirsted for justice. They hated the enslavement of the German people. They were fighting for a just Europe, for West Germany, stripped of any dictatorship. They had an enemy Adolf Hitler and his clique. Inge Scholl is the sister of Hans and Sophie. His book is read. A few short excerpts of published leaflets and distributed by the White Rose, in universities, set the tone:

1942: "We can not talk of Nazism, nor oppose it by a process of the mind, as it has nothing of a spiritual doctrine (...) Since the takeover of Poland, three. one hundred thousand Jews in this country were slaughtered like animals. This is the most heinous crime against human dignity, and no other in history can not be compared with him. (...) Each blames the other this common mistake, everyone frees and continues to sleep, calm conscience. But we must not become detached from others, everyone is guilty, guilty, guilty. "

Another leaflet: "Wherever you are, organize passive resistance - a resistance - and prevent that this great atheistic war machine continues to operate Do this before it is too late, before the last cities have become. a pile of ruins, like Cologne, and the German youth is sacrificed to a monster madness. Do not forget that every people deserves the government it supports. "

Call to sabotage the war machine, the awareness, the defense of humanity, at the end of the Holocaust, in a society enslaved war, watched by the Gestapo fell an incredible heroism and great faith in man, in God.

Thank you to you to have been of German resistance who helped to retain some flames of the honor of your nation.
