This is the inner court of the University of Munich where in February 1943 students of the resistance group 'Weisse Rose' threw their sixth and last leaflets from the balcony to the right. They were discovered, jailed and executed by the Nazi regime.
A memorial and small museum is now in the University and all visitors, young and old, feel deeply touched and inspired by the courage and humanity of these five students and their philosophy professor Kurt Huber. To keep faith in the good of humanity and to fight all evil is a never ending task.
The French Premier Minister J-M. Ayrault recently visited Munich and honored the Weisse Rose heroes in the name of all French citizens.
