                  Sophie, along with her brother and some other comrades, started a non-violent resistance group against the Nazis and Hitler, the "Führer," or "leader" in German. Sophie was a 21-year-old student and was one of the leaders of the resistance group, the White Rose.

                  This group consisted of students from the University of Munich in Germany.

                  Sophie is captured during an attempt to spread and distribute leaflets, which opposed Nazism with her brother Hans.

                  After her capture, Sophie is accused of high treason and is intensely interrogated.
