White Rose

The White Rose (Weiße Rose) was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany led by 5 students + a professor at the University of Munich. The group would distribute leaflets + post graffiti calling for opposition to the Nazi regime. Their campaign ended with the arrest of several members by the Gestapo in 1943.

Siblings Hans (24) + Sophie (21) Scholl, as well as Christoph Probst (22) were executed by guillotine four days after their arrest in 1943. While Sophie + Christoph were silent as they died, Hans yelled "es lebe die Freiheit!" (Long Live Freedom!) as the blade fell.

Members Willi Graf (25), Alexander Schmorell (25) + professor Kurt Huber (49) were captured + beheaded months later.

1) Christoph Probst
2) Willi Graf
3) Alexander Schmorell
4) Kurt Huber

I’d say people have been resisting all along

“Where is the resistance?” Is a self defeating cop out, unless it’s an honest request for opportunities

Ideally this would have soldiers refusing to serve. The Vietnam Vets Against the War scared the shit out of the powers

But every person has a role:

We cannot live this short life in chains though they be golden
