Nazis Arrest Members of White Rose Movement

February 18th, 1943 82 years ago

Members of the White Rose movement, including Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl, were arrested by the Nazis in Munich. They had been distributing anti-Nazi leaflets that called for resistance against the regime. The group aimed to awaken the German populace to the horrors of the Nazi government through their pamphlets, which urged passive resistance. Their activism began in 1942 and gained traction but met with a brutal crackdown.
