“We Will Not Be Silent,” their wartime leaflets declared, “We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!”

Using stirring theme music, powerful images and suspenseful storytelling, Dr. Newborn recounts how Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans—former fanatical Hitler Youth leaders— transformed to become the greatest heroes of the German anti-Nazi resistance. They would go on to lead the only public protest by Germans against Nazism ever to be staged.

Relating the White Rose story to today’s most compelling current events and global issues – from America’s crisis of democracy and the rise of antisemitism to the Mid-East conflict, China, LGBTQ rights, murderous attacks on environmental activists, the Ukraine War and more – he presents an array of inspiring “White Rosers” today, abroad and at home, who risk themselves for freedom and our shared humanity.

Join us and Dr. Jud Newborn in the Extended Social Hall to hear this story as we reflect on how we can follow their example to combat antisemitism in our community and beyond.
