Willi Graf, 25, was beheaded on 10/12 1943 for his part in the White Rose, a circle of idealistic youth who tried to awaken fellow Germans to the evils of the Nazi regime. Even as a child Graf, a devout Catholic, had tried to resist his country’s steady moral corruption.

Willi Graf’s last words echo the faith of early Christian martyrs who died refusing to pay tribute to the idols of empire: “On this day I am leaving this life and entering eternity. God’s blessings on us. In Him we are and live.”
