    It takes incredible strength to say “this is wrong” when nearly everyone is telling you otherwise. By listening to that pit in your stomach, that initial seed of doubt, you can bring even the most manipulative of lies crumbing down by knocking out their fundamentally weak foundations. Scepticism let’s you forge your own path to the truth, because the truth is never afraid of questions, it embraces them.

      Lord ozunu dumber than assuming it came form a god that came from nothing? In fact why assume nothing is the default, given everywhere we look we can find “something”, even in the most perfect vacuum there is energy in the form of random fluctuations across all of the quantum fields. There is no place you can point to and say “that is nothing”. So maybe “something” is more likely or stable than nothing, in fact, theres no evidence that a “nothing” has ever existed. It might even be impossible for “nothing” to exist.

These heroes give their everything to open a path for the betterment of humanity, but they never really see their dream comes true.

When Hans and Sophie were arrested this person went to their apartment, (she had a key) upon learning they were arrested and did her to hide whatever evidence she could find. After that, she got on a train to Ulm, Germany to notify the parents of the Scholls because the authorities were not doing that. If you care to hear more about this feel free to message.

    Edelweiss (or white rose) became a symbol of rebellion. There was also a large group called the Edelweiss pirates that used the flower as their moniker.
    If anyone has seen “The Man in the High Castle”, the opening song is a reference to the double meaning of Edelweiss.

      You are right about the edelweisspirates, but edelweiss is not the german word for white rose. The Name of the Rebellion of the scholl siblings was „weiße Rose“, which translates to white rose

      They are actually pretty well known and admired as a moral example to look up to in Germany today, with books, movies, and memorials about them, and streets and schools named in their honor. I agree it's a shame their story isn't more celebrated elsewhere around the world, though.

Which is why their bravery and sacrifice can and should be admired for all time

    Sophie's words hit me from the first time I read them. Their sacrifice and bravery should not be forgotten and wasted; we need to watch for the warning signs of history repeating itself again. It is empowering to remember that even when the government and public are determined to close their eyes to the injustice they cause, there were and always will be individuals who will stand up for what is good and right.

    Nowadays some democratic countries leaders lable poor student unions fighting for justice of others as "communist, non patriotic, traitors, national threat etc etc" just cause they know students have power to overthrow the repressive regimes!
