We live in a world where there are no rules. Diplomacy may soften the visible excesses of some governments, but Russia, China and Myanmar, to name just three, carry on regardless.
To be a native of those countries is to be oppressed, whether you realize it or not.
I came across the selfless actions of the White Rose student group including Sophie Scholl and her brother, Hans, that opposed the Nazi dictatorship in 1940s Germany.
Sophie Scholl and the White Rose group
Distributing leaflets may seem pointless, but the leaflets that Sophie distributed by hand among fellow students in Munich found their way to England and were then dropped by the RAF to alert the German people of their government’s crimes against humanity.
Sophie Scholl paid a high price. She and the White Rose group were guillotined. But she accepted that risk in the fight for freedom and justice.
The world needs heroes like her and the opposition movements in Russia, China, Myanmar and wherever oppression exists. Expose those who would enslave and oppress.
