Resistance to Hitler

This group of students organized by Hans Scholl at the University in Munich prepared and clandestinely distributed leaflets throughout Germany in 1942-43 until their arrest, trial and execution.

The White Rose Web Site - Dedicated to the memory of the members of the White Rose, this extensive and well done Web site contains individual biographies of the members as well as a narrative of their activities.

          The Leaflets - Copies of the
           seven leaflets are reproduced.
           They are a powerful and
           compelling tribute to the courage
           of these young people.
