God help us if we ever have to risk our lives to keep our freedom of speech in our own country. Don't think it could get that bad? Just ask the people of Nazi Germany's White Rose, an underground anti-nazi movement. Wait a minute, I guess you cant ask them because they were killed by their own country.

Not familiar with them? Watch this movie trailer about one of the heroes of that movement, Sophie Scholl.

Sophie was arrested and then executed by guillotine by the Third Reich for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at her college campus. For this she was beheaded along with several of the other brave young God fearing people of the “White Rose”, an underground Nazi resistance movement. This is a dramatization of that event., it is a movie that will not leave you and will have you thinking about it for days after viewing. I highly recommend this film. I found myself drawn into this movie like few other movies will do. This is brilliant stuff. The tension becomes almost unbearable. The depiction of Freisler (The judge), which might seem over the top, but is quite consistent with accounts and actual film clips of the trial, maybe even understated. He was diabolical, tyrannical and very hot tempered.
After reading many rave reviews from regular people, I ordered this 2005 movie over the Holidays from Netflix. It was sooooo good, I just had to purchase a copy

Watch the Trailer:

It did happen - and it can and according to Bible prophecy will happen again.

Since it's not clear, the name of the movie is

Sophie Scholl, the Final Days.
