WE WILL NOT BE SILENT
In the time of C.S. Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, there was also Sophie Scholl: a 21-year-old German theology student who opposed Hitler and the Nazi regime. After being arrested for denouncing Hitler, Sophie must choose to compromise her beliefs or make the ultimate sacrifice. In an age with much civil unrest and uncertainty, Sophie’s story shows us that one voice can inspire many.
