“One must have a tough mind, and a soft heart.”
AUTHOR: Sophia Magdalena Scholl
(9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and Christian
anti-Nazi political activist, 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 (LMU) with her brother Hans. As a
result, they were both executed by guillotine. Since the 1970s, Scholl has been
extensively commemorated for her anti-Nazi resistance work.
She was the daughter of the liberal politician Robert Scholl, an ardent
critic of the Nazis.
