Sophies Schwester

The title of this book, Sophie’s Sister, refers to Inge Scholl, whose siblings Hans and Sophie were executed in 1943 for their part in the White Rose student resistance movement against the Nazi regime. Initially, Inge Scholl was unaware of her siblings’ resistance activities, but she later conducted extensive research, and became a prominent activist in post-war West Germany’s commemoration of resistance to the Third Reich.
