Have you seen the new exhibit here in the library? Die Weiße Rose: The White Rose is currently on display until April 11, so check it out!
Created
and sponsored by the Munich-based White Rose Foundation (Weiße Rose
Stiftung), this exhibit chronicles the brief history of the German
student White Rose resistance movement against the Nazi regime.
On Feb. 18, 1943, White Rose members Hans and Sophie
Scholl were arrested by the Gestapo after distributing leaflets in the
University of Munich atrium. Along with another member, Christoph
Probst, a married father of three children, the Scholls were executed by
guillotine on Feb. 22. Many other White Rose members stood trial and
faced execution or imprisonment.
The exhibit is currently on tour
across the United States and comes to PLU during the university’s
Powell-Heller Conference for Holocaust Education, March 12-14.
