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
