Sophia Magdalena Scholl was a German student, 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 with her brother Hans. As a result, they were both executed by guillotine.

Since the 1970s, Scholl has been celebrated as one of the great German heroes who actively opposed the Third Reich during the Second World War.

Note:
According to Dr. Frank McDonough, Sophie Scholl’s religious faith played an important role in her decision to oppose the Nazi regime. “Though she was Lutheran, the White Rose was founded after Scholl and others read a stern anti-Nazi sermon by Cardinal Clemens August Graf von Galen (the "Lion of Münster"), the Roman Catholic Bishop of Münster.”

I was reading the story of Sophie and her brothers as well as many others in their resistance to the Nazi regeme. They were and still are an inspiring team.
They lived up to their ideals.
