Film Sophie Scholl - The last days
Tuesday Filmscreening
Munich, early 1943. A group of students – Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, Willi Graf and Alexander Schmorell – are working for the resistance movement “The White Rose”, fighting against the National Socialist regime and the war. In a secret studio they prepare anti-Nazi leaflets, some which they send by post, the rest of which Hans plans to distribute in the university. On 18 February the Scholls enter the university campus and distribute the leaflets. As lectures finish, Sophie pushes a large stack of pamphlets from above, letting them flutter down into the building’s main atrium, now filling up with students. As Sophie and her brother try to leave the building they are stopped by the caretaker who drags them in front of the college dean. A few hours later Hans and Sophie find themselves in separate interrogation rooms in the old Wittelsbacher Palais, the Gestapo headquarters, being grilled about their political activities.Goethe-Institut | Kiyovu
