Defying Hitler: The White Rose Pamphlets
Alexandra Lloyd
Wednesday, 30 March 2022
6:00pm
1 hour
Weston Lecture Theatre
£7 - £12.50
German lecturer Dr Alexandra Lloyd tells the story of the White Rose group of students and a professor at the University of Munich who were executed in 1943 for secretly distributing their anti -Nazi pamphlets.
Lloyd looks at the history of the group and sets their resistance texts in the political and historical context of the day. The book includes modern translations of the pamphlets done collaboratively by undergraduates at the University of Oxford of the same age as the members of the White Rose group.
‘Is it not so that in the present day, every honourable German is ashamed of their government? And who amongst us can foresee the extent of the infamy that will be on us, and on our children, when the veil is one day lifted from our eyes and the most horrific crimes, crimes beyond all measure, come to light?’ – First Pamphlet of the White Rose
Lloyd is a tutor and researcher in German studies at the University of Oxford.
Presented by Bodleian Libraries.
