The White Rose

"Tear the cloak of indifference that you put around your heart. Decide before it's too late!"
With these urgent words, a small circle of Munich students appeals in a leaflet to the conscience of their fellow human beings to no longer close their eyes to the cruel crimes of the Nazi dictatorship and to resist. This group will go down in history under the name "White Rose", its members – above all Sophie and Hans Scholl – will become symbolic figures of humanity in inhuman times. In fact, in 1943 hardly anyone dared to express critical thoughts like these out loud, because in a dictatorship every freedom – especially a free opinion – is considered an attack on the state. Like most of their friends of the same age, Sophie and Hans initially became involved in the relevant Nazi youth organizations. But recognizing the true face of this attitude is followed by action, ready to sacrifice their lives.
