Sophie scholl
Sophie was a very brave person to defy what the Nazis said but she knew what a risk she was taking. When Hans thought of an idea and shared it with the other members of the White Rose Resistance group Willi and Christoph said that the risks were too great and that they weren’t willing to take the risk, this is where Hans said that he would take all the blame but Sophie said with great courage that she would help distribute the leaflets to the university and this is where they went on their way to the university. Hans and Sophie went while the students were in class and put these leaflets by every pillar on every floor to make people aware of what had been going on behind ‘‘the great Nazis.’’ Sophie and Hans were caught and handed over to the Nazis where Sophie was interrogated by investigator Robert Mohr. At first she claimed that they were apolitical and she gave an alibi for where she was. She was almost let out when an order comes not to let her go, she was then placed in a prison cell where she met Else Gebel. As time went on the Gestapo found more and more evidence to prosecute the Scholl’s. The trial took place on the 18th of February 1943 where Judge Roland Freisler not only sentenced Sophie and Hans Scholl to death but also the Probst’s.
Sophie Scholl was a very brave person to be an upstander and even when she was sentenced to death she was brave.
