Germany: Munich – White Rose Nazi Resistors
By sandra. Filed in Germany, History, Monument, Munich |
From June 1942 to February 1943, Munich was the center of the White Rose, a student resistance movement 
which was known for an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign. The group was in active opposition to dictator Adolf Hitler’s regime. Six well-known members were arrested and be-headed following a distribution of leaflets in Munich University by Hans and Sophie Scholl.
You can see the black granite monument to the White Rose Movement in the Hofgarten. Their words carved on it say that every human being has the right to live in freedom of their faith and welfare.
