Translation:
"Tear off the cloak of indifference you have wrapped around your heart... decide before it's too late."
From a "White Rose" leaflet.
Sopie and Hans Scholl, executed by the Nazis 💔
America, wake up, stand up and resist !
💙 👊 💙
Maybe a little bit of Sophie Scholl's courage now will keep us from needing more of it later.
So much more important than people believe right now!!
