The White Rose Young Germans Who Took on the Nazis

- In a matter of hours, they were tried, convicted, and beheaded for the crime of treason. These young friends had dared to oppose the Nazi regime-and were caught in a crucial moment, when the Nazis feared their grip on the public was slipping.
In urgent, pleading messages, copied and mailed to thousands of Germans, the members of the “White Rose” resistance group begged their fellow citizens to rise up. Their voices went unheard then, but today the group is a symbol of righteous rebellion. On this anniversary of the execution of three members, learn their story.

I very much disagree with the statement that The White Rose Movement did not achieve much. So many years later they are still inspiring and motivating people to move beyond fear and to speak and to do the right thing. Much love ❤️
I just hope I can be so brave as these if the American fascist takeover.
Yes exactly check out Seth Greenberg beyond aborted podcast he talks about the white rose resistance and he talks about how he's carrying on and wants other people to help him carry on what Sophie Scholl and her brother hands and their other friend did a little over 80 years ago.
It was So powerful what they did that Nazism had to murder them !!!! The white rose how beautiful and powerful !!!
what a courageous group of people! young people are not often given credit for this activism and im glad the white rose are being appreciated for their actions. may their souls rest in peace
Thank you, Dr. Friedberg, for the video about the White Rose youths of Germany who stood against Hitler and his henchmen. They sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom in Germany and saw that the Nazi ideology was wrong. May their lives and courage be remembered and honored while the names of the long-dead war criminals are cursed and reviled for their crimes.
Right on! ✊
Thank you for the time & energy it took to put this together....their resistance screamed one thing...If only one stands ...It will be me. What courage.
We need more people like them now.
How I agree. We re living in very desperate, corrupt times.
I've a terrible feeling we do need people like them very soon
✨ THIS ✨☝️✊
@@annmowatt7547 I agree.....when has it been any other way?
Do not be afraid. We are still here and you are not alone. Neither is the enemy, for we are always watching. Know that you are loved. 🇮🇱🇩🇪
Thank y Dr Edna, what brave young people they were. Nice to hear of German people resisting . Watching from country south Australia 🇦🇺
These beautiful souls and their courage must always be remembered. This is an incredibly sad and important story.
Their reward is in heaven.
An excellent and informative discussion. Thank you!
@@deedt8279 I cannot see the connection between my comment and yours. I'm sorry. Perhaps your comment has been posted in the wrong place, by mistake. I merely stated that the above discussion was "excellent and informative". It was and is.
@@xelakram ok
@@deedt8279 Thanks. No problem!
Something of interest related to this. Traudle Jung hitlers last secretary said she always made excuses for having worked for a monster. Then one day shortly before her death she noticed a plack that she had walked by for years but had never read before. It turned out to be a tribute to Sofie scole. She was the same age as her. She said suddenly she no longer had any excuse.
Sophie Scholl...but I knew who you meant.
@@jajanesaddictions i knew the spelling was wrong but assumed people would know what i was saying.
@@johnwright291 The quote you are referring to came from an interview that Traudl Junge gave that was used in the 2004 German film _Der Untergang_ (Downfall). The film was based off of Junge's written accounts of Adolf Hitler's final days in the Führerbunker.
*“Of course, the terrible things I heard from the Nuremberg Trials, about the six million Jews and the people from other races who were killed, were facts that shocked me deeply. But I wasn’t able to see the connection with my own past. I was satisfied that I wasn’t personally to blame and that I hadn’t known about those things. I wasn’t aware of the extent.*
*But one day, I went past the memorial plaque which had been put up for Sophie Scholl…, and I saw that she was born the same year as me, and she was executed the same year I started working for Hitler. And at that moment, I actually sensed that it was no excuse to be young and that it would have been possible to find things out.”*
It's spelled plaque.
May their memories be a blessing ✊😌💐
Brave, amazing young people. R.I.P.
german here we actually learned a little about the white rose in school
I'm glad that they get the attention they deserve
Amazing, I was literally looking all over for some information on this. What a brave group of kids and terrible Janitor.
@@deedt8279 You’re about as delusional as Whoopi Goldberg about the subject
NEVER EVER AGAIN
Its already happening again. The new white rose movement is being labeled right wing and given all the associations and attributes of any on the right. Public opinion is way too easy to manipulate. Edward Bernays
Hows that working out? - asking for a friend in Gaza.
However historic renditions of heroism impact one, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually, because the experiences being cited and praised, in and of themselves, are an examination of what's passed, the discussion is somewhat safe.
What one can say, applying these acts of resistance, which were indeed perilous and noble, to the here and now?
Here, while we live and witness, what is still being left tacit, unsaid, "unsafe" to say? How and what do we learn, or is such fatalistic history simply being continued, worldwide? What is courage? Hopefully it is not just an abstract, existential question kept remote from our hearts and minds.
Your heart is great light.
My response is a little water for you dear dear flower.
People do not understand the concept of living under a dictator. How could we know?
Sophie never flinched
The executioner said she was the bravest person he'd ever guillotined.
I actually watched the film Sophie Scholl, The Last Days. It was very sad, but she and her brother, and the others of the White Rose, are hero's.There was another young man, Helmuth Hubener, who was executed in 1942, for his anti nazi stance. He was only 17. He shared the same fate as the Scholls, and the other members of the White Rose.
Excellent! I just discovered this channel and I’m loving it. I have learned so much! Thank you!
That Berlin mural at the end is gorgeous....!
I Can think of one Famous German who was opposed to Hitler and the Nazis and his Name was Willhelm Furtwangler and he did his best to help a lot of Jewish Musicians and the Ordinary German People who were also opposed to Hitler and the Nazis I say good for them
Very interesting. Thank you
Pain AS a cost.....truth as result......what great Souls ....for ever worth remembering....never forget.
I know a lady she is Germany and she was 14 and she never liked Hilter and the Nazis . She always said the Jews wasn't evil there are . She up in age now . She was so shock how Black's was treated but the Germans had Jesse Owen's for 2 weeks. Now she see why the American didn't come see him . She was still friends with the Jews . She cried when people was thrown Rick's and glass at them .
@@deedt8279 im from Germany living in Germany . I CANT fathom the meaning of youre dedicated Post , please explain
I cant see the reply you are replying to. What did deedt state in their comment
As brave a woman as any in the last hundred years.
If only there's been more Scholls
Public opinion is way too easy to manipulate. History will repeat itself, again. Look at how easy it is to divide those into the left and right and the fear, hate, or even spite
If only there had been more people like the Scholls.
Subscribed. Want to learn more about them, their bravery and the white rose resistance.
What was unmentioned in this talk was how devoutly Christian the Scholls were. That is a very big part of this story. Yes, there were Christians who collaborated with the Nazis and turned their backs on the Jews. There were also other Christians who were inspired to resist the Nazis because of their faith. You do a great disservice to and distort the historical record when you neglect to mention that.
Religion is just another way to divide people. Similarities unite and differences divide. Pay mind to those that push differences. Its both “sides”
They talk about them being devout Protestants two minutes in.
They could have emphazied it more, but that is not a distortion
I had a pretty bad history education when I was in highschool, but I'm glad the white rose name stuck with me all these years and I decided to have a look for a RUclips video on a whim.
Powerful artwork!!
So very very few are willing to stand up most hide in the shadows and say or do nothing. Cowards.
Plenty will do worse and turn people in based on their own fear, spite, or hate. Also known as nazi informers. Look at the left and right of today. The new white rose movement is already being labeled right wing. Ought to tell you something. Edward Bernays and his “torches of freedom “ is a great example assuming that history hasn’t been revised in any manner, yet

My POST is based on that time of the era News Papers and some research of mine. Hitler was a fighter and that is why he had many nick name " Fuehrer" and his title was Chancellor of the German Reich. He never attempt to do suicide so HOW can you say that his personality was like a suicides' - As if you knew him personally. My post is without any assumptions and opinions or advice of mine. He was portrait wrong by many of his close circle. I can see that it is possible. Because in general people do not discuss the fact they only discuss their personal opinions and wrong assumptions of theirs which carries out and it becomes big and general public starts taking laws in their hands. and blames Hitler. Jewish people must have hated him and that is why they must have given him wrong accusations. WATCH Video about - " Rise and Fall of the Third Reich | Full Movie " on youtube.. They have never found any documents where Hitler is giving Those Cruel or extreme Orders. NO EVIDANCE FOUND AGAINST HITLER. He did not even mention Jewish till 1941. Prior to that 1930 to 1933 things were happening to Jewish in small scale.
@@deedt8279 Between 1933 and 1939 a whole range of anti-semetic legislation was introduced in Germany. According to you that all happened against the wishes of the German dictator, who would not even mention Jews until 2 years later!
@@robertjohnson8242there was a large group of jews who were not just business owners against hitlers national socialist policies being pushed and the hyper inflation going on, many just hated the party business owners or not. Julius Striecher hated the jews so much even his own party didnt want him around. They gave him a lowly position despite having a magazine devoted to nothing but jew hate. Hitlers first actions went against any opposition jewish or not or left wing or right wing same as Stalin. History is already repeating itself, again. The new white rose movement is being labeled right wing and given all the attributes of the right
I am very much interested in this topic.
This would make a good movie

The scholls were simply opposition. A fact everyone misses when it comes to Germany. History will repeat itself because public opinion is way too easy to manipulate. Informers are easy to create using fear, hate, or even spite
They was brave
O meu país precisa de um belo movimento como este. Descansem em paz, nobres humanos. Rip.
Very informative

I watch rise and Fall of the third Reich all the time.
@@deedt8279jews became not just a scapegoat but eventually the scapegoat. The first to go were his opposition same as the new white rose movement being labeled right wing and all the associations and attributes given to the right. Between social Darwinism and eugenics, attributes were made typically to groups of all kinds in most countries including the US like Buck V Bell 1927 involving Carrie Buck who was white for those who want to push race. The true racist who hated jews was Julius Striecher who was given a lowly position despite his deep hatred of the jews? Yeah that makes sense, not. He dangled on a hangmans noose around 11 minutes. Good riddance
@@deedt8279I’ve spent almost fifty years studying nazi germany and all aspects of it including twisting public opinion to achieve political goals. And eventually how it was mirrored in the US as well

Does anyone know what happened to Christopher Probst's family? Were they punished?
I always wondered why they weren’t better known outside Germany 🇩🇪 until now. I was born in Europe and always heard about them but never here. This should be told. The me memory of the righteous is a blessing!!
SOPHIE WAS BEHEADED FACE UP. R.I.P.
I came to watch a video about the resistance of young people to the dictatorial regime, when I found it, it was covered by a notice saying "Ad Blockers are not allowed on RUclips" did those young people die for nothing? Or is the notice not equally dictatorial?

THERE IS A MOVIE ON Sophie Scholl.
Any more info??
SOPHIE SCHOLL ,THE FINAL DAYS.
And Hans return to the hiding rooms
@@darleneyager8807, for years, it has been here on RUclips, free and with no commercials. I don't know whether it still is. It's an excellent movie.

They are the only Germans wortth talking about! .Millions stupidly followed in the opposite evil direction...
I admire them so much but they made too many mistakes so their case was easy to prosecute. They bought large volumes of paper and stamps. These were discovered and used against them.

Expand please. The new white rose movement is being labeled right wing. Is that what your “like now” comment is referring to?
I have three books about them, (one of which is a script). Is there a DVD of this? I found this after watching a video of Trump praising Putin and HIS METHODS. How is this possible?
For years, the excellent dramatic movie, "Sophie Scholl," has been here for free and with no commercials on RUclips. Is it still? I haven't checked lately, but you might. It really is an extremely well made movie.
Public opinion is way too easy to manipulate. The new white rose movement is already being labeled right wing and given all the attributes of those on the right. How many people would you turn in out of fear, hate, or even spite. Edward Bernays and his “torches of freedom “ is a great example assuming that history hasn’t been revised, yet. Hate those on the right or left yet? Yeah. Way too easy to turn people against each other. Here we go, again😢
I read it was a sign...the white rose, to identify a contact in public.
This lady was 18 a Germans was scare when she heard about Killing Jews. Her mom said she believed and if you say something they all be killed . She said 2 years later some hoe it got to the United States and some peole Excuses the camps . That when the USA got involved. At first they couldn't believed it . They saw more Jews Excape and it was on.
