This week in Germany, Church members join with the rest of their nation in recognizing the cost of freedom and the importance of truth.

Germans are remembering a small group of young teenage boys who fought against the Nazi regime from within Germany during World War II. These boys were led by Helmuth Hübener, who was executed at age 17. The last surviving member of this group, Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, passed away May 9 at his home in Salt Lake City.

Read more about the work of these courageous young men here on the Church's German Web site (article is in German).
