From World magazine:

Yesterday [September 22] was the birthday of Hans Scholl. He is an almost forgotten figure outside of Germany, but he deserves to be remembered. Scholl, a devout Lutheran born in 1918, led the White Rose resistance movement against Nazis. As a boy, he joined the Hitler Youth, but quickly understood what the group was all about and even as a teenager began to resist the Nazi regime. He studied medicine at university, which helped him avoid military service. He and his sister Sophie authored anti-Nazi tracts and distributed them at their college and all around Germany. On Feb. 18, 1943, the Gestapo arrested Hans and Sophie while distributing the tracts. They were tried for treason four days later, convicted, and executed by beheading within hours. Hans Scholl’s last words were “Es lebe die Freiheit”: “Long Live Freedom.”
