Their basic Christian attitude immensely helped the White Rose people to stop talking about resistance and start acting. Suddenly they saw one thing clearly. Being against is not enough. We have to do something. There is an enormous stone wall of impossibility and our job is to discover minute possibilities that we can chip or blast out of the wall. Finding possibilities, even on the smallest scale, was extremely important for my sister Sophie. The passage from the Epistle of James, "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only," was in imperative for her."
