# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Sophia Magdalena Scholl was born 9 May 1921 and raised in a politically engaged family. She joined the Bund Deutscher Mädel in her youth but grew critical of the regime through readings in philosophy and theology, particularly the work of Theodor Haecker. Alongside her brother Hans and other students, she joined the White Rose, a passive resistance circle that distributed leaflets citing ethical arguments against Nazi policy. On 18 February 1943, she and Hans were caught distributing pamphlets at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The Gestapo arrested them, interrogated them, and brought them before Roland Freisler in a show trial. Both were convicted of high treason and executed by guillotine on 22 February 1943. The Allies later air-dropped copies of the White Rose's final leaflet over Germany.
