7-9Th Grades Waves of Resistance by Chloe A. Girls Athletic Leadership School, Denver, CO
First Place Winner Division I – 7-9th Grades Waves of Resistance by Chloe A. Girls Athletic Leadership School, Denver, CO Between the early 1930s and mid-1940s, over 10 million people were tragically killed in the Holocaust. Unfortunately, speaking against the Nazi State was rare, and took an immense amount of courage. Eyes and ears were everywhere. Many people, who weren’t targeted, refrained from speaking up because of the fatal consequences they’d face. People could be reported and jailed for one small comment. The Gestapo often went after your family as well. The Nazis used fear tactics to silence people and stop resistance. In this difficult time, Sophie Scholl, demonstrated moral courage by writing and distributing the White Rose Leaflets which brought attention to the persecution of Jews and helped inspire others to speak out against injustice. Sophie, like many teens of the 1930s, was recruited to the Hitler Youth. Initially, she supported the movement as many Germans viewed Hitler as Germany’s last chance to succeed. As time passed, her parents expressed a different belief, making it clear Hitler and the Nazis were leading Germany down an unrighteous path (Hornber 1). Sophie and her brother, Hans, discovered Hitler and the Nazis were murdering millions of innocent Jews. Soon after this discovery, Hans and Christoph Probst, began writing about the cruelty and violence many Jews experienced, hoping to help the Jewish people. After the first White Rose leaflet was published, Sophie joined in, co-writing the White Rose, and taking on the dangerous task of distributing leaflets. The purpose was clear in the first leaflet, “If everyone waits till someone else makes a start, the messengers of the avenging Nemesis will draw incessantly closer” (White Rose Leaflet 1).

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history." Hans Scholl, interrogation protocol of the Gestapo, 20.2.1943 The Origin of the White Rose The White Rose originated from individual friend- ships growing into circles of friends. Christoph Probst and Alexander Schmorell had been friends since their school days.

An Analysis on the Influence of Christianity on the White Rose
Religion and Resistance: An Analysis on the Influence of Christianity on the White Rose Resistance Movement Laura Kincaide HIST 3120: Nazi German Culture Dr. Janet Ward December 1, 2014 1 Because religion often leads people to do seemingly irrational things, understanding a person’s religion is essential to understand his/her actions. This was especially true in Nazi Germany when religious conviction led some people to risk their lives to do what they believed was right, others allowed their religion to be transformed and co-opted by the Nazis to fit a political agenda while meeting spiritual needs, and still others simply tried to ignore the cognitive dissonance of obeying an authority that was acting in direct contradiction to a spiritual one. This paper will examine the role of Christianity in resistance movements against the Nazis with a focus on the White Rose in an attempt to explain how members of the same religion could have had such drastically different responses to the National Socialists. The White Rose resistance movement officially began in June, 1942 when the group’s first anti-Nazi pamphlet was published and distributed, although the activities and broodings of the members far predated this event. The movement started at the University of Munich, where a small group of students, most notably Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, Alex Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Traute Lafrenz, and their philosophy and musicology professor, Kurt Huber, discovered that they shared negative opinions of the Nazis and began meeting in secret to discuss their dissident political views.i Some of the most dedicated and passionate members felt the need to spread their ideas throughout the German populace and call upon their fellow citizens to passively resist the Nazis.

Lycurgus in Leaflets and Lectures: the Weiße Rose and Classics at Munich University, 1941–45
Lycurgus in Leaflets and Lectures: The Weiße Rose and Classics at Munich University, 1941–45 NIKLAS HOLZBERG The main building of the university at which I used to teach is situated in the heart of Munich, and the square on which it stands—Geschwister-Scholl-Platz—is named after the two best-known members of the Weiße Rose, or “White Rose,” a small group of men and women united in their re- sistance to Hitler.1 On February 18, 1943, at about 11 am, Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans, both students at the university, were observed by the janitor in the central hall as they sent fluttering down from the upper floor the rest of the leaflets they had just set out on the steps of the main stair- case and on the windowsills. The man detained them and took them to the rector, who then arranged for them to be handed over to the Gestapo as swiftly as possible. Taken to the Gestapo’s Munich headquarters, they underwent several sessions of intensive questioning and—together with another member of their group, Christoph Probst, who was arrested on February 19—they were formally charged on February 21 with having committed “treasonable acts likely to ad- vance the enemy cause” and with conspiring to commit “high treason and demoralization of the troops.”2 On the morning of the following day, the Volksgerichtshof, its pre- siding judge Roland Freisler having journeyed from Berlin to Munich for the occasion, sentenced them to death. That same afternoon at 5pm—only four days after the first ar- rests—they were guillotined.

“White Rose” (January 1943) by Offering Active Political
Volume 7. Nazi Germany, 1933-1945 The Fifth Broadsheet of the “White Rose” (January 1943) By offering active political resistance to the Nazi regime, the Munich student group known as the “White Rose” earned a special place in the history of Germany’s youth opposition. No doubt the best-known members of the group were siblings Hans (1918-1943) and Sophie Scholl (1921- 1943), both of whom had supported the Nazi regime early on but eventually came to oppose it. Information about the government’s crimes – the euthanasia program and conditions on the Eastern Front, for example – hastened their move toward resistance. In addition to the Scholls, the core group consisted of Hans's friends and fellow students Alexander Schmorell (1917- 1943), Christoph Probst (1919-1943), and Willi Graf (1918-1943). Professor Kurt Huber (1893- 1943) joined the “White Rose” later on. In 1942 and 1943, group members distributed six broadsheets in which they appealed to the public’s sense of moral duty, called for active resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, and demanded an end to the war. Whereas their first four broadsheets only circulated within a small group of mostly Munich-based academics, the fifth one (see below) was distributed in thousands of copies and found its way into several cities in southern Germany. Written by Hans Scholl, Schmorell, and Probst, and addressed to all Germans, it warns that complicity in Nazi crimes could only be avoided by active resistance. When Sophie Scholl went to distribute the group’s sixth and final broadsheet at Ludwig Maximilians University on February 18, 1943, she was spotted by the school’s janitor, who informed the authorities.

Study Guide for Sophie Scholl: the Final Days
STUDY GUIDE FOR SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS PRODUCED BY: Vicky Knickerbocker Outreach Coordinator at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, TWIN CITIES CAMPUS SOPHIE SCHOLL AND THE WHITE ROSE: A CASE STUDY IN DISSENT in NAZI GERMANY CURRICULUM GUIDE for the film, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, authored June, 2006 by Vicky Knickerbocker and edited by Dr. Stephen Feinstein Introduction: Today in Germany, one of the most popular heroes is Sophie Scholl. She is greatly admired for the bold and courageous actions she took to defy the Nazi regime. She and several other members of the White Rose, including her brother Hans, clandestinely published and distributed anti-Nazi literature. Between the early summer of 1942 and February 1943, people in cities in the South of Germany and in Austria found leaflets in their mail boxes calling for protests against the Nazi regime. On February 19, 1943, Hans and Sophie took a great risk by placing copies of a sixth leaflet produced by the White Rose Group in the deserted halls of the University of Munich. After a janitor spotted them, they were arrested by the Gestapo. Sophie, her brother Hans and Christoph Probst were soon tried and executed. The recent film, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, directed by German director Marc Rothemund, reconstructs the last six days of her life. Based on actual trial transcripts and official police records, this film dramatizes her arrest, her interrogation, her imprisonment, her trial, and her execution. This film reminds its viewers that German resistance did occur and that young adults played prominent roles in the German resistance movement.

Hans Conrad Leipelt
Hans Conrad Leipelt Hans Conrad Leipelt wurde am 18. Juli 1921 in Wien als Sohn des Diplomingenieurs Konrad Leipelt und der promovierten Chemikerin Katharina Leipelt geboren und starb am 29. Januar 1945 in München-Stadelheim. 1925 zog seine Familie von Wien nach Hamburg, nachdem sein Vater die Stelle als Hüttendirektor der Zinnwerke Wilhelmsburg angenommen hatte. Ab 1935 unterlag die Familie aufgrund der jüdischen Herkunft von Katharina Leipelt der Unterdrückung der Nürnberger Rassengesetze. 1938 machte Hans L. sein Abitur und meldete sich zum Reichsarbeitsdienst und zur Wehrmacht. Hans Conrad Leipelt Während des Westfeldzuges lernte er Karl Ludwig Schneider kennen mit dem ihn später eine enge Freundschaft verband. Im August 1940 wurde er trotz hoher Auszeichnungen entlassen und begann im Herbst sein Chemiestudium an der Universität Hamburg. Durch Schneider lernte er Margaretha Rothe und Heinz Kucharski - beide ebenfalls NS-Gegner - kennen, mit denen er später die Widerstandsgruppe „Weiße Rose Hamburg" gründete. Im Wintersemester 1941/42 wechselte er an die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München, wo er u.a. das Vermächtnis der Geschwister Scholl fortsetzte, zu Professor Heinrich Otto Wieland, der als Nobelpreisträger in der Lage war, „Halbjuden“ auszubilden, denen das Studium seit 1940 untersagt war. Nach der Hinrichtung der Geschwister Scholl und Christoph Probst im Februar 1943 erhielt Leipelt das 6. Flugblatt der Weißen Rose, welches er gemeinsam mit Marie-Luise Jahn im April nach Hamburg brachte, wo sie es mit dem Zusatz „Und ihr Geist lebt trotzdem weiter!“ versahen, vervielfältigten und verbreiteten. Im Spätherbst 1943 werden sie jedoch mit 28 weiteren Aktivisten verhaftet. Hans Leipelt wird am 13. Oktober 1944 vom Volksgerichtshof als Hochverräter wegen des Hörens ausländischer Rundfunksender, der Wehrkraftzersetzung und der „Feindbegünstigung“ zum Tode verurteilt, Marie-Luise Jahn zu 12 Jahren Zuchthaus.

Christoph Probst - Eine Biografische Skizze
Christoph Probst - eine biografische Skizze Lange stand Christoph Probst in der öffentlichen Erinnerung an die Weiße Rose eher im Hintergrund. Sogar der politisch brisante Inhalt seines Flugblattentwurfs, der zu seiner Verhaftung am 20. Februar 1943 in Innsbruck führte, war nur wenig bekannt. Erst mit der umfangreichen kommentierten Veröffentlichung seiner Briefe durch die Herausgeberin Christiane Moll 2011 rückte seine Rolle im Widerstand der Weißen Rose stärker in den Fokus. Der Medizinstudent und Angehörige der Luftwaffe Christoph Probst kam aus einer freigeistigen, unkonventionellen Familie. Seit der Schulzeit war er eng mit Alexander Schmorell befreundet. Über ihn lernte er im Frühjahr 1941 in München auch Hans und Sophie Scholl kennen. Im Sommer desselben Jahres heiratete er. Mit seiner Frau Herta Dohrn bekam er zwei Söhnen und eine Tochter. Wahrscheinlich war Christoph Probst im Sommer 1942 in die erste Flugblattaktion seiner Freunde Alexander Schmorell und Hans Scholl eingeweiht. Er war jedoch noch nicht aktiv beteiligt, da er seine Familie nicht gefährden wollte. Krieg und Verbrechen des NS-Regimes belasteten ihn jedoch so sehr, dass er sich auf Bitten von Hans Scholl Ende Januar 1943 entschloss, ein eigenes Flugblatt zu entwerfen. Hans Scholl hatte diesen Flugblattentwurf in der Manteltasche, als er am 18. Februar 1943 von der Gestapo in der Münchner Universität verhaftet wurde. Es gelang ihm nicht mehr, das Flugblatt unbemerkt zu zerreißen. Christoph Probst wurde am 20. Februar 1943 in Innsbruck verhaftet, als er auf der Geschäftsstelle der Studentenkompanie seinen Lohn abholen und Urlaub beantragen wollte. Vergeblich versuchte Christoph Probst im Gestapo-Verhör, seinen Flugblattentwurf mit einer Depression zu erklären. Weitere Beweise gegen ihn wurden nicht gefunden.
