The White Rose was a group of five German students, and a philosophy professor who between June 1942, and February 1943 distributed leaflets in Germany calling for the people to help put an end, by peaceful means, to the tyranny of the Nazi oppression. All the members were arrested, tried, convicted and beheaded in 1943. The White Rose name was used to symbolise purity and innocence in the face of evil. Original music and visuals.
