February22, 1943
Eighty two years ago today, Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine for leading a student resistance against Hitler. She was 21.

Eighty two years ago today (February22, 1943), Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine for leading a student resistance against Hitler. She was 21.

The student resistance group was called “The White Rose” and was founded in 1942 by several students at the University of Munich, including Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans. The members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to stop injustice and genocide. In 1943, Hans and Sophie Scholl were arrested by the Gestapo after they distributed leaflets to students at their university. Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst, another member of the group, were all beheaded by guillotine in Stadelheim Prison only a few hours after being found guilty on February 22, 1943.

A prison guard later reported: “They bore themselves with marvelous bravery. The whole prison was impressed by them. That is why we risked bringing the three of them together once more-at the last moment before the execution. If our action had become known, the consequences for us would have been serious. We wanted to let them have a cigarette together before the end. It was just a few minutes that they had, but I believe that it meant a great deal to them.”

Sophie Scholl’s last words were: “How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

Over the years, the White Rose, and Sophie Scholl specifically, have become a symbol of anti-Nazi resistance.
