The White Rose is a group bound together by different reasons then politics like music, art, science, etc. but then turned when Hitler entered the political race. She took a stand against Hitler in pretty small ways but then they got an idea. They managed to mass produce 6 different kinds of envelopes with leaflets inside. Leaflets are paper with information on it which is distributed for free. Although it might have helped a couple hundred people who wanted to make a difference, they had no long term effect on Hitler’s rule, as they were executed before they could really start to help people.
The White Rose Group spread 7 leaflets because of Hitler’s rise to chancellor, being as horrified as they were that he was slaughtering Jews. They did this in Germany so they could convince the general German population that Hitler did not deserve to be in the position he was in. |
The Scholl family had many reasons to dislike Hitler and what he did. First of all, the Scholl kids were influenced by their parents to despise Hitler. Second, Sophie had Jewish friends, who she could not do anything with. Thirdly, some of some of the members in the group were medics and they witnessed murders of the Nazi’s first hand. Finally, most of the members were religious, not Jewish, but still they saw Hitler’s actions as a sin.

This group was influenced by economic, social, political, and cultural climate of the time period. First, the group was founded for the purpose of a social group. An example would be literature, ideology, and different kinds of arts. Second, they were influenced to do the things they did by the upcoming of Hitler in politics. They saw the actions he had taken and were mad that people let this happen. Third, the Scholl children, Sophie and Hans, were enthusiasts of national socialism, and were fascinated by it. Yet Hitler took that word into his own hands and twisted it. They tried to influence the Germans that Hitler was not fit for Chancellor, but they didn’t change it.
