Munich (dpa / lby) - The White Rose Foundation in Munich has designed a traveling exhibition about Sophie Scholl and her resistance against the National Socialists.
The show showed the biography of a young woman who was initially shaped by the zeitgeist of the time, but then radically turned away from it, the association announced on Wednesday in Munich.
Scholl would have been 100 years old on May 9th.
“Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” comprises 14 banners with explanatory texts, quotes and photos and is aimed at schools, among others.
The student belonged to a group of like-minded people and friends who opposed the Nazi regime with leaflets.
In February 1943, she and other members of the "White Rose" were sentenced to death in Munich and executed.
A young woman who compared herself to Scholl during a demonstration by opponents of the corona measures in Hanover therefore caused outrage last autumn.
"I feel like Sophie Scholl, because I've been active in the resistance for months, giving speeches, going to demos, handing out flyers and registering for meetings since yesterday."

The exhibition is the prelude to a series of events related to Scholl's 100th birthday.
The first stop is the Geschwister Scholl dormitory in Munich, then it continues to Ulm and North Rhine-Westphalia.
