“One must have a tough mind and a soft heart,” Sophie Scholl wrote in a letter to her friend Fritz Hartnagel shortly before her arrest.

The clarity and determination with which she, her brother Hans, and their fellow resistance fighters Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Professor Kurt Huber fought against the Nazi regime and appealed to the intelligence and humanity of their readers through leaflets, developed over a long period.
ABOUT THE PLAY
Rethinking, Responsibility, and CourageIn the play, the audience meets Hans and Sophie as committed members of the Hitler Youth and experiences harassment, injustice, cruelty, and arbitrary rule alongside them.
The audience understands both their initial enthusiasm and their doubts and their eventual rejection of the regime. They follow along with the production and distribution of the leaflets, their arrest, and their sentencing.
“The White Rose” is also a play about growing up. About first love, discovering one's own personality, and finding one's path in life during a dark period in our history.
Today, when more and more people choose to address the world's problems with simplistic slogans instead of truly seeking solutions, "The White Rose" reminds us of each individual's responsibility for justice and humanity in our society.
