The White Rose jewelry Sophie Scholl brooch Peace jewelry Womens History

The White Rose was a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943, that called for active opposition to dictator Adolf Hitler's regime.

The six most recognized members of the German resistance group were arrested by the Gestapo, tried for treason and beheaded in 1943.

Among the beheaded was activist Sophie Scholl, 21.

Today, the members of the White Rose are honoured in Germany amongst its greatest heroes, since they opposed the Third Reich in the face of almost certain death.

*********************************

A timely remembrance to speak out, with courage, against oppression of all forms and to remember that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Starting with steel, I affix and finish a paper image of Sophie Scholl (in public domain) onto the tin surface.

This is a pin set that includes a tiny, white resin rose with a locking pin back. The pins are also offered seperately in my store.

Finally, I attach nice, locking clutch pin backs are added to the pins with super-strong jewelry glue.

The pin of Sophie measures 1 1/4 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches long.

Questions are welcome.

Thanks for stopping by!
