Brown Bag Program ~ Page to Stage Presents The White Rose
Join us as we get an inside look at Birmingham Festival Theatre’s current production, The White Rose.
Consisting of five students from the University of Munich, the White Rose distributed leaflets calling for the German people to oppose Nazi oppression. Seen dropping leaflets from a top floor by a custodian at the university, the students were arrested and went to trial on February 22, 1943. All were found guilty of treason and sentenced to death by guillotine.
The students would have the last word, however, when their last leaflet was smuggled to Allied forces, who used it as a propaganda leaflet and airdropped millions of copies into Germany. Wednesday, May 14, noon.
