On this day in 1943, Sophie and Hans Scholland and Christoph Probst, three members of the White Rose, a student organization that opposed the Nazi regime in their country were convicted of treason and later that same day beheaded. Their few compatriats soon joined them in death.
Long live the White Rose and all those who bear witness against the oppression of people and for the possibilities of our human condition.
