Sophie and her brother Hans grew up just as any child should during Hitler’s rise in Germany. They were a part of “Hitler Youth.” As they got older, they realized the truth about Hitler and the direction Germany was headed. Now in college, along with other classmates from the University of Munich, the White Rose starts distributing leaflets speaking out against the war, Hitler and all the secret things Germany is hiding. A very brave act, that would cost them everything. “Someone had to make a start, after all.” – Sophie Scholl.
