Remembering the White Rose: How a Group of Medical Students Took on Hitler In-Person
What are the social responsibilities of doctors and health care professionals?
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Salvatore Mangione, physician, faculty member, and researcher on the White Rose Resistance Group. The White Rose was a Nazi Resistance Group made up of German medical students and faculty who had an expansive view of what it means to be a doctor.
From 1942-1943, the group spoke out and distributed leaflets against Hitler and the atrocities the Nazi government and army committed. Most members of the White Rose were captured and executed. But, as they wrote in one of their leaflets, “We will not be silent," and their courage and legacy are remembered today.
Hear from Dr. Mangione as he discusses the history and legacy of the White Rose Resistance Group. Visit Scott Library's 2nd-floor exhibit on the White Rose Resistance Group and explore Jefferson Libraries' resources.
NOTE: This event is open to Jefferson staff, faculty, and non-SKMC students.
SKMC students are invited to attend an event on September 5 in Eakins Lounge.
The White Rose exhibition was provided by the Weisse Rose Stiftung e.V./ White Rose Foundation, Munich.
