  • von Robert M. Zoske
    24,00 €

    Wie wird eine Frau zur Heldin? »Ich bin nach wie vor der Meinung, das Beste getan zu haben, was ich gerade jetzt für mein Volk tun konnte.« Das sagte Sophie Scholl nach ihrer Verhaftung im Februar 1943, so steht es im Protokoll der Geheimen Staatspolizei. Doch wie gelangte die 21-Jährige zu dieser Überzeugung? Was musste geschehen, damit aus einem begeisterten Hitlermädchen eine entschlossene Widerstandskämpferin wurde? Robert M. Zoske spürt dieser Frage in seiner empathischen Biografie nach. Auf der Basis neuer Quellen und bisher unveröffentlichter Dokumente zeigt er Sophie Scholl, so wie man sie bislang noch nicht kannte.
