Resistance: Germany 1933–1945




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic With authoritarian regimes currently on the rise worldwide, this study group focuses on three examples of resistance to Nazi rule in Germany between 1933 and 1945—the White Rose movement, Otto and Elise Hampel’s anti-Nazi postcard campaign in Berlin, and Oskar Schindler’s rescue of Jews. Through these examples, we will explore both individual and collective acts of resistance; their motivations, obstacles, successes, failures, and consequences. For each, we will discuss historical conditions of the time and place; whether the actions were active or passive; and whether the resistance came from within or outside the Nazi regime. Ultimately, this study group is designed to explore the efficacy of resistance as a vehicle for change. Materials for this study group will include films, digital exhibits, websites, archival materials, and articles that will both contextualize German resistance and apply lessons learned to contemporary issues.
