QUOTE: Many people
think of our times as being the last before the end of the world. The evidence
of horror all around us makes this seem possible. But isn't that an idea of
only minor importance? Doesn't every human being, no matter which era he lives
in, always have to reckon with being accountable to God at any moment? Can I
know whether I'll be alive tomorrow morning? A bomb could destroy all of us
tonight. And then my guilt would not be one bit less than if I perished
together with the arth and the stars.
AUTHOR: Sophia Magdalena Scholl (9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and Christian anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany.
She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing
anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich (LMU) with her brother Hans. As a
result, they were both executed by guillotine. Since the 1970s, Scholl has been
extensively commemorated for her anti-Nazi resistance work.
She was the daughter of the liberal politician Robert Scholl, an ardent
critic of the Nazis.
