The Final Days chronicles the true story of Sophie Scholl and several other young people who spoke out against Hitler. Fantastic movie.

6. Those brave young people were beheaded

2. Sophie Scholl should be a household name instead of Anne Frank.

I wonder why we don't learn about her in school.
:sarcasm:

[Tom Joad]

4. why not both?

[redqueen]

5. That'd be better than all victim/defeat and no standing up and fighting. n/t

[LeftishBrit]

14. Sorry, but that's a really ignorant remark

And comes across as blaming the victims.

It wasn't a defeat; it was a genocide.

And yes, the Jews did fight back - heard of the Warsaw Uprising?

[redqueen]

15. What?

Anne Frank hid in an attic. That's not fighting back.

Do you get my point now?

[ellisonz]

17. The reason Anne Frank is taught in schools is to expose children to the Holocaust.

[redqueen]

18. Duh.

My point is: how about we give them other examples... examples of people who stood up to the bastards, no matter the consequences?

[tabasco]

19. What an utterly insensitive and downright stupid remark.

Demonizing a young, innocent victim of Nazi torture and murder.

There's something wrong with you. Seriously. Get help.

[redqueen]

22. Demonizing?

Little hysterical there aren'tcha?


on edit: your suggestion that there's something wrong with me and that I should get help says something about you. Might wanna ponder on that a while.

I'd throw some nasty labels back at ya for good measure, but I'm not like that.

[LeftishBrit]

12. INSTEAD of Anne Frank???

Can't we learn about both?

[redqueen]

16. Yeah... might wanna read the thread.

I already agreed with that.

Jeezus Christ.

3. Sophi Scholl, Presente!

[The Straight Story]

7. Reminds me of someone who used to post here (nt)

[seemslikeadream]

8. yes I think of him too

:cry:

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. Yeah, where did he go?

[The Straight Story]

20. I can't recall if it was tombstone or just leaving

BenBurch I think was his user name.

[Blue_Tires]

21. thanks...i had forgotten the name

but i always remember the white rose sigline

[goodgd_yall]

9. I read a book about The White Rose several years ago

Interesting because it told of Sophie's evolution toward a political activism. I don't want to be a spoiler, so I'll say no more.

10. It's a great story but most of the movie was pretty dry I thought.

I was expecting something more. There were some highlights, but all in all the movie was just OK. It's too bad, because it's a powerful story. I wish there were more movies of the struggle against fascism in Germany.

[LeftishBrit]

13. I'll have to see that! It sounds fascinating.

23. "We will not be silent" graphic that prints out on 8X10 paper

You can adapt it to your needs. If you want to do a transfer, be sure to turn the image 180 degrees. You can print (transfer) it out on a Tee shirt. Don't forget to turn 180 degrees so you won't have it backwards. One for a white Tee and one for a black Tee.
