Project White Rose 2025

"How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter if, through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" - Sophie Scholl’s last words on February 22nd, 1943, before death by guillotine at the hands of the Nazi Party.

History of the “The White Rose”

The White Rose was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany, founded in 1942 by University of Munich students Hans and Sophie Scholl, along with other young intellectuals and their professor, Kurt Huber. The group opposed Hitler’s dictatorship and the Holocaust, distributing leaflets that exposed Nazi crimes and urged Germans to resist the regime. They emphasized moral responsibility, peaceful defiance, and intellectual awakening. In February 1943, Hans and Sophie Scholl were caught distributing leaflets at their university, leading to their arrest, trial, and execution by guillotine. Despite their deaths, their courage remains a powerful symbol of resistance against tyranny.


"The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't like to make waves—or make trouble. Those who, in the end, don't want to act because they don't want to lose their little bit of life. Those with no sides and no causes." - Sophie Scholl
