Sophie Scholl

Sophia Magdalena „Sophie“ Scholl (* 9. Mai 1921 in Forchtenberg; † 22. Februar 1943 in München) war eine deutsche Studentin und Widerstandskämpferin gegen den Nationalsozialismus. Sie wurde aufgrund ihres Engagements in der Widerstandsgruppe Weiße Rose gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder Hans Scholl von nationalsozialistischen Richtern zum Tode verurteilt und am selben Tag hingerichtet.

Sophia Magdalena Scholl (9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany.
She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich (LMU) with her brother, Hans. As a result, she was executed by guillotine. Since the 1970s, Scholl has been extensively commemorated for her anti-Nazi resistance work.
