As Sophie and Hans went to Church one Sunday

External link: Shoah Education website article, Sophie Scholl and the White Rose As Sophie and Hans went to Church one Sunday, they heard Bishop Galen speak of the emerging Euthanasia polices of the 3rd Reich. http://www.shoaheducation.com/whiterose.html Where and when was that? --217.238.55.241 (talk) 16:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Fact is: Hans and Sophie Scholl never heard Bishop von Galen speak; they never heard and saw Galen preach in a church. This is true: "But during the summer of 1941, an anonymous leaflet was delivered in a brown envelope to the Scholl apartment on Cathedral Square. It was produced on a duplicating machine. It contained the full draft f a sermon given by the German Catholic bishop Clemens Graf von Galen, which had denounced Hitler’s state-organised euthanasia programme (codenamed T4) (…) ‘Finally’, Hans told Inge Scholl, ‘a man has had the courage to speak out’ and after reading it in detail he commented: ‘We really ought to have a duplicating machine.’" (Frank McDonough, Sophie Scholl. The Real Story of the Woman who defied Hitler, Stroud 2010, p. 79f.)

Fact is: "Yesterday we got up early, at 3.45 A.M., so as to be in time fort he Easter service at Soeflingen, but we got there a bit late all the same and didn’t see them strike sparks from a stone to light the Easter candle. Much as I need that kind of service – because it’s a real service, not a lecture like you get in a Protestant church – I’m sure it takes practice and habit to participate in it fully and not be distracted by the spectacle confronting you. If you have faith, that spectacle becomes a profound religious experience in itself. My trouble is this, however: I’d like to kneel down because it genuinely accords with my feelings, but I’m shy of people seeing, especially people I know. I’d like to bow down before an effigy of God because you shouldn’t just experience such feelings but express them as well, but again I’m too inhibited. The result is, I’m never wholeheartedly involved – or haven’t been so far, at any rate." (Sophie Scholl, Easter Saturday 1942)--217.238.5.76 (talk) 17:08, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Why don’t you write a complete and comprehensive story of the White Rose?

Dear Dr McDonough, why don’t you write a complete and comprehensive story of the White Rose? People here in Great Britain ought to know about Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf, Alexander Schmorell (who was born in Russia), and about Professor Kurt Huber (who was born in Switzerland).--217.238.5.76 (talk) 16:54, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Eulogy: Sophie Scholl

Sophie’s greatest gift, however, was her intuition, her sensitivity, her compassion. http://eulogysophiescholl.blogspot.com/ --217.80.51.116 (talk) 07:01, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
