The White Rose


The White Rose was a group formed by students at the University of Munich. This group was formed in 1941 and it was an Anti-Nazi congregation. Han and Sophie were both a part of this group as well as Inge Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Gruf, Jugen Wittenstein, and Kurt Huber.They wrote a series of leaflets that asked for social justice and the renaissance of the democracy in Germany.They painted anti-Nazi paintings on the side of houses like "Down With Hitler", "Hitler Mass Murderer", and "Freedom". In my opinion they where on of the most hands on heroes that I have read about so far. I am enjoying my research!
