#NaziGermany forcibly conscripted all 10 to 18-year-old kids into the #HitlerYouth on #ThisDayInHistory in 1939, hoping to indoctrinate a generation into their #racist 'utopian' vision. Many instead joined #EdelweissPirates clubs to resist, often acting as #partisans in the war.

Our Secondary students met international author #KRGaddy, sparking thoughtful discussion on #FlowersintheGutter—the true story of the #EdelweissPirates, teens who resisted the Nazis. #SomersfieldAcademy #AuthorVisit #SociallyConsciousIndependentThinkers

Also, complete side note. I was busy kind of reminiscing about good historical movies and I was reminded of the Edelweiss Pirates.

Good movie. Based on real events and some people too. Y'all should watch ità

Sophie's last written word. Written on the back of her accusation.
Freiheit in German spells 'Freedom'.
Sophie Scholl stood against the Nazis and refused to submit to their authority. On 22/2/43, she was beheaded for treason at just 21 years old.
