On 18 February 1943 Hans and Sophie Scholl, part of the White Rose group of peaceful protesters against the Nazi regime, were arrested at the University of Munich. They were later executed by guillotine. They were 24 and 21 years old.
[Edited to correct Sophie's age.]
"How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause... It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go."
- the last words of Sophie Scholl
