Description The White Rose (Die Wei e Rose) stretched far beyond Munich, but at its heart were six individuals: students Hans Scholl (1918-1943), and Sophie Scholl (1912-1943), who were brother and sister, Christoph Probst (1919-1943), Alexander Schmorell (1917-1943), and Willi Graf (1918-1943), and Professor Kurt Huber (1893-1943).
Between 1942 and 1943 the group wrote and disseminated six pamphlets calling on the German people to resist Nazism.
These essays are intended to offer short introductions to those for whom the White Rose is a new subject, and to provide.
In addition to the pamphlets, this volume presents five essays about the White Rose which explore in different ways influences on the group, and the influence they had on post-war German politics and culture.
The student translators outline their approach in a Translators\' Introduction.
While there are many versions of the pamphlets in English, the translations included here are the result of a collaborative process (as is true of the original pamphlets) and were undertaken by undergraduate students at the University of Oxford as part of The White Rose Project, a research and outreach initiative telling the story of the White Rose in the UK.
This volume includes facsimiles of the pamphlets and transcriptions of the German alongside a new English translation.
Schmorell and Huber were executed three months later, on 13 July
Graf was executed on 12 October 1943.
Alexander Schmorell, Kurt Huber, and Willi Graf were subsequently arrested, tried, and sentenced to death on 19 April.
Their arrest followed, and on 22 February Hans and Sophie Scholl and Christoph Probst were sentenced to death and executed by guillotine just hours after the conclusion of their trial.
They were spotted by a caretaker and detained.
On 18 February 1943 Hans and Sophie Scholl took copies of the sixth pamphlet to the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and deposited them around the atrium at the entrance of the main university building.
