Poem
Sophie Scholl was raised a Christian in a Lutheran family Born in the town of Forchtenberg in south west Germany For standing defiant against evil with her young life she'd pay In a country that was in deep turmoil and had lost its way. She was a young teenager in nineteen thirty three When a new leader offering hope, emerged in Germany Adolf Hitler was an Austrian, who came to power And for many it was the start of their darkest hour. To unite the German people the Nazis held rallies In some of the larger towns and all the big cities But something dark and sinister was taking place The evil Nazis were plotting to create a master race. All the youth were encouraged to join an organisation Hitler youth they were known all over the nation Sophie and her brother together, with some of their friends Turned their backs on the movement and vowed to make amends. Word was getting around about death camps and persecution Together they decided to form, a small non violent organisation Known as the 'White Rose' who urged the people to renounce Hitler They handed out leaflets telling the truth, about the Nazis slaughter. One day at Munich University where Sophie studied as a student She was seen distributing leaflets on what Nazi ideology meant A janitor intervened and confronted her, and wouldn't let her go She was arrested and then handed over to the notorious Gestapo. They interrogated her to find out, who her accomplices were But she wouldn't give them their names, as they tortured her They charged her with high treason and sentenced her to death To die by the guillotine and the date of execution was set. They executed twenty one year old Sophie for making a stand And they had accused her of being a traitor, to the fatherland They eventually captured the others, five of them in all And they too walked to their deaths standing proud and tall. Its people like Sophie who want to make the world a better place And not supporting some twisted ideology like a master race The Nazis were eventually defeated and their leaders tried But not before Sophie and millions of other innocents had died. Written 15th May 2021.
