Photo exhibit focuses on White Rose movement

A touring photo exhibit chronicling "the brief yet intense bloom" of the White Rose nonviolent resistance movement against the Nazi regime in Germany is on view through March 23 at the Bridge Gallery in the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Hamilton Library.

A free, public reception for the exhibit will take place at 3 p.m. Jan. 20.

The White Rose movement was formed in 1942 by a group of students and supported by philosophy professor Kurt Huber of the University of Munich. The group became known for its leaflet and graffiti campaign denouncing the Nazi regime and calling for active opposition, according to exhibit organizers.

In 1943 the six most recognizable members of the group were arrested by the Gestapo and beheaded. One of the movement’s leaflets was smuggled out of Germany, and copies of the retitled piece, "The Manifesto of the Students of Munich," were dropped over Germany by Allied planes.

Today the group’s members are admired as heroes, with schools and public places named in their honor.

The exhibit has been shown in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California. For library hours, see library.manoa.hawaii.edu.
