Alexander Schmorell, Christoph Probst und die Weiße Rose: Eine politische Doppelbiographie

In the organizer's words:

A conversation with Christiane Moll, Maximilian Probst and Marie Schmidt

Today, Hans and Sophie Scholl take center stage in the memory of the Munich White Rose resistance group. Their comrades-in-arms are often insufficiently acknowledged. However, anyone who takes a closer look at the history of the White Rose and in particular the lives of all those involved will discover a multitude of relationships, interdependencies and similarities.

In the case of Alexander Schmorell and Christoph Probst, it is hardly possible to approach one without paying detailed tribute to the other. They did and thought too much together in their short lives for their stories to be told individually. Rather, it is logical to follow their lives in a political dual biography. Although their origins and early youth are traced separately, their lives were so intertwined from 1935 onwards that they should be portrayed in precisely this interwoven manner.

Two biographies, two ideological developments with many points of contact that led to a common fight against National Socialism.
