On July
7, 2012 Susanne Zeller-Hirzel, who is now 91 years of age, resurrected the
"White Rose" (Weiße Rose) along with 8 activists. It is well known
that the original White Rose was a resistance movement in Munich from 1942 to
1943 during the time of the Third Reich. On the campus of the University of
Munich the members of the group called for the overthrow of Hitler, and after
the battle for Stalingrad in 1943, called directly for resistance. Susanne
Zeller-Hirzel was a close friend of Sophie Scholl who was beheaded by the Nazis
on 22 February, 1943. Susanne Zeller escaped death managed to deceive the judge
and was released from prison after five months.

The
speaker in the video is Marc Doll, Federal Vice Chairman and founding member of
the party DIE FREIHEIT, a civil liberties party (Bürgerrechtspartei) in Germany
which advocates direct democracy. In the video Marc Doll addresses the thinking
behind the establishment of the new White Rose resistance.

The new
'White Rose' has two principal messages to convey:

1.
National-Socialism was a left-wing movement.

2. The
Nazis are back again, today they call themselves "Antifascists."
