   Sophie Scholl was a 22 year old philosophy student at Munich University   
   and she, her older brother Hans and his friend, Christoph were members   
   of an anti- Nazi organisation called The White Rose. They were caught   
   helping to distribute an anti-Nazi pamphlet in the university and were   
   taken to Wittelsbach Palais, where they were interrogated for 4 days by   
   they Gestapo before coming to trial on February the 22nd, 1943. They   
   were quickly found guilty and sentenced to death. All 3 were guillotined   
   by Johann Reichhart in Munich's Stadelheim prison within hours of the   
   verdict on that same day.   
      
   Sophie was taken to the guillotine first and reportedly walked to her   
   death "without batting an eyelash". Her last words were "Die Sonne   
   scheint noch," which translates as "The Sun still shines." She is buried   
   in the Perlach Cemetery next to the prison.
