I had the good fortune to find and borrow the German film Sophie Scholl from the esplanade library and highly recommend it to everyone for watching. It is about Sophie and her brother who distribute leaflets condemning the Nazi regime under the Fuhrer. Facing ultimate death for treason and demoralising the German army, the siblings however stood brave and firm expressing their views. In short, they fought for what they believed in and even though staring down death, they fought for that tiny hope that maybe Germans would see the shortfalls and overthrow the Fuhrer. It is a true story in one of the darkest period in Germany's history and I admire Sophie for her tremendous courage.
