                        • The assassination attempt on
                          Hitler was set up on July 1944 by
                          the White Rose.

                        • Even though the leaders of the
                          White Rose weren’t Jewish they
                          still felt what was happening to
                          the Jews was cruel and unfair.

                        • The White Rose was set up in
                          many cities such as Hamburg,
                          Freiburg, Berlin and Vienna.

                 • The White Rose decided to start making
                   leaflets that denounce the regime of the
                   Nazis.

                 • They spread these leaflets around to
                   students throughout the University of Munich
                   so they could have more support in rebelling
                   against the German army.

             The Hitler Youth.
• Many of the White Rose members were actually once part
  of the Hitler Youth.

• The Hitler Youth was very restricted on their rules and
  what went on and what happened while you were part of
  the Youth.

• After Hans and Sophie were executed, their
  sister Inge Jens found a journal of everything
  that went on while they were secretly writing
  letters to each other and when they were in
  prison and what it was like. She later edited
  their book At the Heart of the White Rose:
  Letters and Diaries of Hans and Sophie Scholl
