White Rose Movement

The White Rose Movement was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany during World War II, active from 1942 to 1943. Composed mainly of university students and a professor, they opposed Hitler's regime and its atrocities. The group distributed leaflets calling for resistance and condemning Nazi policies, especially the persecution of Jews. Their efforts aimed to awaken moral awareness among Germans and promote opposition to tyranny. Sadly, most members were arrested and executed by the Gestapo, but their courage continues to symbolize moral resistance and the fight for justice against oppressive regimes.
