I Am Sofie

My name is Sophia Scholl. Before the outbreak of WWII, my beloved Germany was threatened by the rise of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party. My brother, Hans and I were young patriotic members of the Hitler Youth. But we grew disillusioned with Hitler quickly. Together with many others, Hans and I formed the White Rose movement, wrote leaflets calling on our fellow Germans to stand up to the Nazis and defend our homeland. My brother Hans was 24 and I was 21 when we were caught, tried, and executed by the Gestapo.This is our story.
