Between June 1942 and February 1943, German student Sophie Scholl barely slept a wink. By moonlight, she sprayed anti-Nazi slogans onto walls and typed thousands of leaflets by hand, advising her countrymen on how best to practise active resistance against Hitler. By day, she ran courier missions across the country, stuffing secret messages into phone boxes, letterboxes and library books. Eventually executed for high treason, she fought for the enduring freedom of the human spirit, wherever and whenever it was threatened. Activist Sophie Scholl, illustrated by Hannah Sunny Whaler for Oh Comely issue 32. When a nationwide manhunt was launched to catch a traitor group “of considerable size and resources”, few could have predicted the truth about the culprits. The White Rose movement had nothing but pens for weapons, and fewer than 10 active members at any given time. All were students in their early 20s – a small circle of siblings, friends and lovers, with the exception of Sophie’s beloved philosophy lecturer, Kurt Huber. As a young woman, Sophie aroused little suspicion at checkpoints and was notoriously good at hiding the group’s tracks. However, in seizing every opportunity to spread their message further, she put herself in grave danger. During a routine leaflet drop at the University of Munich on 18 February 1943, she climbed to the top floor and spontaneously flung excess copies into the air, sending a cascade of paper down the atrium staircase. Caught in the act, she was immediately reported to the Gestapo. Sophie remained stoic in the courtroom, and serene even when walking to her death. On the night before her execution, she shared a dream with her cellmate. “It was a sunny day. I was carrying a child, in a long white dress, to be christened. Suddenly, a crevasse opened at my feet, gradually gaping wider and wider. I was able to put the child down safely before plunging into the abyss. The child is our idea. In spite of all obstacles, it will prevail.” Her prophecy was correct. Though she received little credit until after the war, Sophie is now a national hero. Her actions represented the ‘other’ Germany – one of progressive thinking and poetry – during a time of barbarism and mass ignorance.

These moments from history deserve a closer look...and nothing brings out the true life of these moments in time than color. So we hand picked a collection of once black and whites, now in vibrant color. Warning, these rarely seen photos are not suitable for all audiences. While these gorgeous colorized photos of the past are definitely a must-see, not all of the stories are fit for consumption, so proceed with caution. Black and white definitely didn't do these photos justice...

Yastıkları çok seviyorum. Sadece yastıkları değiştirerek odaya bambaşka bir hava katabiliyorsunuz. O yüzden yastığa verilen paraya hiç acımıyorum. Zaman zaman değiştiriyoruz koltuklardaki yastıkları aman bir mutlu oluyoruz sonra bu küçücük değişiklikle sormayın. Şu sıralar, daha doğrusu bahar gelmeden açık renklerde, çiçekli-böcekli, irili-ufaklı bir yığın yastık dikmek istiyorum umarım fırsat bulabilirim. Bu yastıklar ise evimizin örgücüsü kardeşimin eserleri. Pinterest’de görmüş, annemler bizdeyken bana siparişi verdi, dışar işler sorumlusu olarak gittim yünleri aldım, bizimki de ördü. Annem de yardım etmedi değil ama büyük emek kardeşimin. NOT: Bakın mesela şu yukarıdaki fotoğraf nasıl grenli yani kumlu. Bunun nedeni, anlattığım ISO’nun yüksek olması. Oda karanlık olduğu için mecbur ISO değerini yükselttim ve ortaya belki aydınlık ama kalite açısından düşük bir fotoğraf çıktı. P.S. : Look at above images and remember this post. It has so many noises. The weather was dark and I had to increase the ISO value so I have bright but poor quality image. Dediğine göre hem çok kolay hem de çok zevkliymiş, ipler kalın olunca fıştır fıştır örülüyormuş. Bence kış için ideal. Sıcacık kullanıyoruz şimdilerde. Eğer siz de heves ederseniz kesinlikle deneyin kış bitmeden. Ben şimdi gül kurusu renginde yün alacağım bir tane daha ördüreceğim. İş bölümü yapmak harika bir şey yani: ) Hepinizin haftasonu huzur dolu ve sımsıcak geçsin emi… I love all kinds of pillows. You can capture a different atmosphere in your room with changing just your cushions... Because of this, I don't feel upset to given money to the pillows. Change the cushions from time to time can made you happy with the easy way. These cushions was knitted by my little sister. She has seen a similar of these cushions on pinterest and I think these are ideal for the winter season. We use them with great pleasure. I wish all of you have a cosy weekend...
