Sophie Scholl - The Mass

Sophie Scholl was active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich with her brother Hans. As a result, they were both executed by guillotine.
May she and all the other victims rest in peace.

What is the song in the background and what is it saying?

[historyhorse]

@lazarochavez1 hey the song is called "The Mass" and is from the music goup eRa. They use lyrics which although similar to Greek or Latin are in fact deliberately devoid of any exact meaning.

Those who demonise Muslims fall into the same traps as the eliminationist Germans..claiming one group is different,brings it on themselves ,are all the same etc then excluding them exiling them to social death and excusing brutality .We must never allow one group to be made into scapegoats or painted as "evil" ever again.Learn the lessons of the past.I know many decent Muslims,I know many decent Christians and Jews..there are terrible people in all religious groups.Never Ever Again.

May we never forget how people sacrificed their lives for our Western freedom and fighted against totalitarianism. Susanne Hirse-Zeller, one of the few survivors of the "White Rose" resistance group against Nazi Germany and former best friend of Sophie Scholl, is a member of the resistance group "Pax Europa" now. She says that the islamic ideology is the biggest threat to Western civilization these days.

@BLUEHIPPO47 But it is fully adequate to offer to the moslems to conduct a own internal selection against extremism

[Kheperimon]

@historyhorse actually this song is in Latin and has a meaning (I can't post here the translation of lyrics... too many characters... but if you want it just send me a message)

[suzannesadiiqa]

The music is from Carl Orf's Carmina Burana

[AngelBiLove]

@historyhorse it's carmina burana o fortuna... it's latin and does have meaning. why do i know this? because i know the lyrics by heart. atleast till 0:50. it's this song.

They say: aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, meaning: always waxing or waning; hateful life first oppresses and then soothes as fancy takes it; Even later, for example at 2:40, they are again singing lyrics with meaning.

Onore a Sophie Scholl,a suo fratello Hans,e al suo amico.

.tutti Tedeschi che si sono ribellati a quel pazzo idiota di Hitler,che ha trascinato la Germania (come anche l'Italia) alla follia totale.

Gli eroi come Sophie non devono essere mai dimenticati,ma studiati e ricordati in tutte le Scuole del mondo....per ricordare sempre gli EROI.

Don't ever let the White Rose message be forgotten. Peace to one and all.

White Rose = Heroes.

New World Order + Illuminati = Scum.
