At just 21 years old, Sophie Scholl was sentenced to death and executed in 1943 as a member of the resistance group "White Rose." What motivated her? How did she feel, how did she think? Where did she draw the strength to seek and pursue her path "with an unyielding spirit and a loving heart"? This biography transports us to a time that is hardly imaginable today. It explores the question of "how and for what reasons Sophie Scholl resisted a criminal violent system and sacrificed her life for it" (Hans-Jochen Vogel in the foreword).
