In the 1930s, children all over Germany were sucked into Hitler’s ideology by means of the youth organization Hitlerjugend. Two such children were Hans and Sophie Scholl.

We’ve got just a little over a week until Valentine’s Day. If you’re taken, then you definitely have plans in mind (or at least that’s the lie you told your partner). If you’re single, that’s great too, but just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. It’s…
