The Scholl siblings are among the most famous personalities of the German resistance against the Nazi regime. On February 22nd, 1943, they had to pay with their lives for their fight against fascism and their belief in freedom. Sophie Scholl grew up with her four siblings in a liberal family in what is now Baden-Württemberg. After graduating from high school, she first worked in a day care centre. In May 1942 she followed her brother Hans to Munich to study biology and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University. At this point in time, the first “White Rose leaflets” were sent out to her brother’s circle of friends, in which the students would appeal to the population’s moral duty to resist. Sophie herself took part in the production of a pamphlet for the first time in January 1943. Just a month later, she was seen distributing the papers at the university and arrested along with her brother. Shortly afterwards, her ally Christoph Probst was arrested. During the two-day interrogation at the Gestapo headquarters in Munich, the Scholl siblings take on all responsibility to protect their friend and the others involved. But the next day, all three were executed by guillotine.
