Overview
In February 1943, three students from the White Rose, an anti-Nazi resistance group in Munich, were beheaded by order of the People's Court of the Third Reich.The White Rose is largely forgotten today. After all, the group was tiny, and it grew only a short while before being brutally extinguished. Yet obscure as it was, the White Rose continues to intrigue and inspire.
As the story of a group of young people who courageously refused to swim with the stream, it gains a relevance that is of utmost significance for our time.
