At times when hope is in short supply, we often find that the real heroes and heroines of history step forward. One such individual was unquestionably Sophie Scholl – a 21 year old German student at the time of World War II. Sophie was a leading member of the “White Rose” – a group of young people who offered resistance to the Nazi regime from within Germany itself, distributing leaflets among the public calling for the overthrow of Hitler. Finally, in 1943, Sophie was arrested – but even when being interrogated with the shadow of her certain execution ahead, Sophie stood firm in her beliefs and refused to incriminate her fellow White Rose members, in this moving and powerful story based on the life of the real Sophie Scholl.
