In a few decades, there will be busts to Americans who died fighting this new regime.

I only scanned the article but what I caught of it sounded interesting. She should have been taught about in school along with Anne Frank. Not much is known about the German Anti-Nazi heroes and heroines. They are just as important about the Allies winning the war as the Allies were.

Yes, I'd never heard of her before!

I knew of the Scholl siblings but then I've studied German. I also watched the film on TV "Sophie Scholl – The Final Days". They were so young and brave.

I need to watch that movie. I saw bits of it when my family were watching it and it looked very good.

When I was a student, I had to read die Weiße Rose by Inge Scholl as part of the political course. Unfortunately the book is long gone - had a moving clearout and all my books went to the charity shop.

I'll have to have a look and see if I can find it anywhere - I'd like to read it.
It's so terrible that Germans of that period are often unanimously thought of as Nazis, when there were so many who DID stand up and protest, at the costs of their lives or their liberty

I'm sure it must be available in English and German. It's a 'popular' book. I'd bet you could get an electronic copy if that's better for you.

There is more about German resistance here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_resistance_to_NazismBut generelly, those who risk their lives are the minority. The same thing all over the world. Most of us just want to survive and go on with our own lives.
