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.
