Southeastern Virginia | Vol. 52 No. 14 | 7 Nissan 5774 | April 7, 2014 THE W hite Rose PROJEC PROJECT T THE HOLOCAUS T COMMISSION

HANS AND SOPHIE SCHOLL, young and idealistic German students, were appalled by what was happening around them in 1943. They formed a resistance group called “The White Rose,” and heroically protested the policies and actions of the Nazi regime. Hans, his sister Sophie, and many of the students and teachers who made up the group were eventually arrested and executed. The Tidewater Jewish Community honors the memory of Hans and Sophie Scholl with our White Rose Project. Using your donation to the White Rose, we provide educational material on the Holocaust each year to Tidewater schools and institutions. In addition, your donations to our Red Rose Project enable us to continue other important initiatives sponsored by the

Holocaust Commission. Recent White Rose Project gifts have included educational materials such as the Paper Clips video and book, the book, Beyond Courage, a compilation of stories of Jewish resistance, Tell Them We Remember, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and A Lost Youth and My Name is Anne Too, memoirs written by our own former Speakers’ Bureau survivors whom we’ve recently lost, David Katz and Anne Friedman. Red Rose Project programs include Yom Hashoah, What We Carry, the Elie Wiesel Writing and Visual Arts Competitions, The Goldman and Kroskin Educator Awards, presentations of Through the Eyes of a Friend, and the Biennial Educators’ Conference for Hampton Roads Educators.
