Sophie Scholl: The Student Heroine



For those who've never heard of her, Sophie Scholl was a 21-year-old student at the University of Munich who, along with her brother and other student and faculty activists, was beheaded in 1943 by the Nazi regime for distributing anti-Nazi flyers on campus. This is the hallway in the campus building where she distributed the pamphlets that first got her arrested. I'm also including a photo of the leaflets inlaid in the sidewalk outside the building.
