Die Geschichte der "Weißen Rose" und ihre Rezeption

2024, Globkult

Abstract

In the FRG, "Die Weiße Rose" stands out among the rites of historical remembrance. Yet, not unlike historiography in general, remembrance is subject to the specific historical setting, ie.e. to the changing political - and ideological - scene.This article attempts to retrace the road of Hans Scholl and his friends into open resistance to the Nazi regime. Relevant aspects of their resistance - nonconformism, family, patriotism, and Christian faith - have been downplayed or misinterpreted in the abundant literature on "Die weiße Rose".
