| - Sophie was born in 1921. She had 3 sisters and 2 brothers. She entered junior/grade school at the age of seven. After her six months in the National Labor Service, in May 1942, she enrolled at the University of Munich as a student of biology and philosophy. In early summer 1942, Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, Willi Graf and Christoph Probst co-authored six anti-Nazi political resistance leaflets. Calling themselves The White Rose, they instructed Germans to passively resist the Nazis. She and the rest of the White Rose were arrested for distributing the sixth leaflet at the University of Munich on 18 February 1943. On 22 February 1943, Scholl, her brother Hans and their friend Christoph Probst were found guilty of treason and condemned to death. They were all beheaded in Munich's Stadelheim Prison only a few hours later. 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.
