Sophie’s Sister - that is Inge Scholl, whose younger siblings Hans and Sophie were executed in 1943 for resisting the Nazi regime. Inge Scholl knew nothing of her siblings' resistance. However, she immediately embarked on a private search for the truth and thus became an influential and prominent activist in the Federal Republic's culture of remembrance and commemoration of resistance in the Third Reich after 1945. Christine Hikel has written an enlightening and exciting book about this. She impressively demonstrates how familial memories were constructed, how they changed over time, how and when they prevailed against competing narratives of resistance, and how they shaped public commemoration. The story of the White Rose is thereby extended into the post-1945 period and presented as a fascinating lesson.
