Sophie Scholl

Sophie Scholl was born to Robert and Magdalene Scholl in Forchtenberg am Kocher, Germany.

The Scholl family moved to Ludwigsburg, where Sophie attended primary school and began her early education.

Sophie joined the League of German Girls, a branch of the Hitler Youth, initially out of curiosity and social pressure.

Sophie began her secondary education at a girls' school in Ludwigsburg, where she excelled academically and artistically.

Sophie started to critically question the Nazi regime's policies and propaganda, influenced by her father's anti-Nazi stance.

Sophie met Willi Graf, a fellow anti-Nazi activist, which deepened her resolve to resist the Nazi regime.

Despite her growing doubts, Sophie volunteered as a camp leader for the League of German Girls, seeking to influence the youth positively.

Sophie enrolled in an art school in Stuttgart to pursue her passion for art, but her studies were interrupted by the war.

Sophie was forced to rejoin the Hitler Youth as a camp leader, a role she took reluctantly but used to spread her anti-Nazi views.

Sophie enrolled at the University of Munich to study biology and philosophy, where she met her brother Hans and other future White Rose members.

Sophie joined the White Rose resistance group, working alongside her brother Hans and other students to oppose the Nazi regime.

Sophie and other White Rose members distributed anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich, risking their lives to spread their message.

Sophie and other White Rose members were arrested by the Gestapo after being caught distributing leaflets at the university.

Sophie was tried by the People's Court and sentenced to death for high treason, along with her brother Hans and Christoph Probst.

Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine at Stadelheim Prison in Munich, Germany, for her role in the White Rose resistance.
