Her father, who was a former mayor of several small towns in Germany, warned Sophie and her brothers about the new regime eventually abusing their power (Biography in Context). Her parents also encouraged their children to “think for themselves and speak their minds” (Student Resource Center). This parental support foreshadows what Sophie and her brother would become. The Scholl household was very supportive of their family members.

Throughout her life she was devoted to helping people in many different ways, spending much of her life doing different activities that involved helping people, most importantly slaves and their families.

Susan Gregg was born on June 6th, 1970, in Stockton on Tees, England. When he was 12 years old he immigrated to Australia, with his Mum, his Dad and his younger brother, Phil. He has very few remaining memories of England. Some of the only things he remembers about his time there are when he used to play with the kids on his street, the fact that his family didn’t have a car, so he would have to walk to school, and that it was always cold.

While they were in Tunisia Susan recalls locals offering to buy his brother due to his red hair, but their parents declined their offers. During their trip, he and

They started producing anti-Nazi Third Reich political resistance leaflets anonymously. The White Rose wanted to “Directly expose the atrocities committed by German forces in the east and encourage Germans to actively oppose the Nazi regime.” The members of the White Rose decided to make leaflets and pamphlets to inform the German people of what was really happening to the Jewish. Nowadays, this does not seem like a significant source to spread news, but back then paper was very expensive and rare. If a non-nazi official obtained paper or stamps, they could be at risk of being convicted of treason. The group made six leaflets, and worked very hard to make about 100 copies each. They stuck them to places where people constantly went, such as phone booths, restaurants, and universities. Sophie Scholl was one of the core members of the group. She attended Munich University, where she released pamphlets in the lecture halls and into the quad of the university. Unfortunately, a custodian caught her in the act and turned her into the authorities. Three days later, Sophie and other core members were convicted and put to death. The remaining members were put in jail. The White Rose was able to effect the Holocaust by spreading the correct message of the Jewish people to the German people, rather than fake news. We still live with the problem of

Meanwhile for Sophie, as an art lover she watched her favorite artists leave the country because they refused to create the forms of art Hitler deemed acceptable. Also, she discovered that many of her favorite books were placed under the “ banned books” list because they had been written by Jewish authors. As a result of these experiences, both Hans and Sophie realized that Hitler was not proposing to build a new world for everyone, but that his true plan was to build a utopia where blond, blue-eyed Aryans thrived and those that did not match this description were imprisoned, tortured, and killed (“Hans Scholl”).
