「叛国」英雄
Sophie Scholl was a Munich University student who died in 1943 for her involvement in the White Rose, an anti-Nazi organisation.The core members of the White Rose initially included Hans Scholl, Sophie's brother and a medical student, and Christoph Probast. Hans had been keen to keep Sophie unaware of his activities, but once she discovered them, she joined them, and proved valuable to the group: as a woman, her chances of being randomly stopped by the SS were smaller. She and her brother were arrested in February 1943. On 22 February, they were found guilty of treason, and beheaded by guillotine on the same day. Her last words were:"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter if through us people are awakened.
"索菲．舍尔是慕尼黑大学学生，因参与反纳粹组织白玫瑰，一九四三年去世。白玫瑰最初的主要成员包括汉斯．舍尔以及克里斯托．普罗巴特。汉斯是索菲的兄长，并是医科学生，最初努力隐瞒自己的活动，不让妹妹知道，但索菲发现之后，马上加入，对白玫瑰的工作贡献良多：由于她是女人，被纳粹党卫军偶然截着搜查的危险较小。一九四三年二月，她和汉斯一起被捕，二月二十二日，被判叛国罪，即日送上断头台。索菲死前说了一句话：「多么晴朗美好的一天，我却要去了。但假如别人因我们而醒觉，一死算得什么。」
