Pencil sketch of an anti Nazi resistance fighter

SUSAINE  HIRZEL

She was associated with white rose during WW II.She was initially a music student at Music school and came in contact with White rose like Sophie Scholls .She also took part in distribution of pamphlets. After the arrest of Scholls and their execution she was also arrested along with remaining members and was tried. They could not establish her role in the generation of the pamphlets. And thus survived the death sentence while others were sentenced to death and executed. After the war she became a cello teacher and took part in politics along with her brother. She passed away at the age of 92 years.
