My fellow White Rose members have accomplished a great deal, from writing leaflets to secretly distributing them. The fact that they have done all this without being detected, I am astounded at how much luck and courage we have. Now it is my time to prove my worth to the movement. I have become one of the primary writers and have helped edit the fifth leaflet that Han Scholl wrote. However, that is not enough. I know that I can accomplish much, much more. So I have decided to write the entire sixth leaflet by myself. As I am writing this leaflet, I am directing it at students, so that they may realize what type of crises Germany is in. I believe that encouraging phrases such as “Fight against the Party!” and “Freedom and honor!” will bring forth a sense of patriotism and duty from my readers, the same feelings I am feeling as I am writing this down. I hope that through writing, I can encourage the youth, the future of Germany, to stand up against the Nazis and free Germany from this dreadful oppression. I intend every written line to enlighten my readers, so that they may see the true face of the Party and realize what they must do to ensure their freedom. I am nearing the end of my piece of work and concluding it with strong calls to action. Soon, it will be ready for Sophie and Hans to distribute to the people of Germany. I have high expectations of the responses to this leaflet.
