We Will Not Be Silent

We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!

The ending of the fourth leaflet by the White Rose Group. Students at the University of Munich produced leaflets and graffiti, warning their audience that Hitler would lead Germany to ruin, and that the Nazis were engaged in the mass murder of Europe’s Jews. The leaders of the White Rose, Hans and Sophie Scholl and Christop Probst, were guillotined on 22nd February 1943. They were 24, 21, and 24 years old, and the courage with which all three faced their treason trials and executions was noted.
