Hans and Sophie Scholl, and also their
friends were no dark conspirators, but sensuous young people, who died for the life of
truth and freedom. With honouring the death of the members of "The White Rose"
we would like to remind (everybody), that it's necessary in all days to question the world
around us. We should be keen on hearing and sensitive, that in our world today the
situation doesn't come again, in which the effort for truth, peace and freedom costs life. |
