Subtitle: The Story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Revolt Against Hitler

Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans were handsome, bright university students in 1942 Germany. As members of the Hitler Youth, they had once been enthusiastic supporters of the German renewal promised by National Socialism. But as their realization of Nazi barbarism grew, so did their moral outrage. A Noble Treason tells the true story of an underground group at the University of Munich that instigated, organized, and carried out the first overt resistance to Hitler's regime.
