Tear Jerker / Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

Go To

  • Sophie recounting her time as a children's nurse to the passive Investigator Mohr, when she could only watch helplessly as the Aktion T4 "euthanasia programme" was being carried out.
    Sophie: Trucks came to pick up the children at the mental hospital. The other children asked where they were going. "They're going to heaven," said the nurses. So the children got on the truck singing. You think I wasn't raised right, because I felt pity for them?
  • The Scholl parents saying goodbye to their daughter.
    • And just before the goodbye, Sophie's desperate shriek in her cell, when the full extent of everything she is about to lose, and the sheer injustice of the situation, hits her.
