movie, the capture, arrest, trial, and execution of the core members of the White Rose brings about a startling conclusion to the lives of many and, ultimately, the White Rose. The events leading up to this started on February 18, 1943 when Hans and Sophie Scholl headed to the University of Munich with the intention to distribute a briefcase of leaflets before attending their classes of the day. They deposited most of the leaflets outside the doors of lecture rooms that would open momentarily. The
their execution head on. Although, Hans and Sophie Scholl, along with Christoph Probst were all sentenced to death and later beheaded, they showed to sign of faulting from their ideology nor remorse for their actions. They never regretted being members of the "White Rose" movement, and belonging to a group of students and others who opposed Hitler's dictatorship and openly protested the regime by distributing anti-Nazi literature on their college campus. Even When Hans was warned the Gastapo were on
Sophie Scholl, was born on May 9, 1921. She was the daughter of Robert Scholl. She lived in Ludwigsburg, Germany with her mother, father, and older brother, Hans. When Sophie was 12 the Nazi Party rose to power in her homeland. At just 12 years old she was forced to follow the regime. Silently, Hans and Sophie’s father opposed the regime. He would do little things such as, watching BBC, a previously banned channel by the Nazi’s. He feared they would abuse their power. This is when I believe the seed
they believed in. These young college students sacrificed their lives for the good of their country and the people they loved. To fully understand the story of Hans, Sophie, and Christoph, the creators of The White Rose, you need to know about their life, their courage, and how inspiring their work was. (Hornberger) Hans and Sophie Scholl were regular people, just like us. They siblings in a hardworking German family who loved their country. They both went to the University of Munich, where they
The Savior Traitors Let’s think of this situation, suppose that a person live in a country that just got into war, but they found out that the war started because their country is trying to kill off a race of people. What would they do, would they stand there and do nothing? Would he or she try to fight your government in politics or physically? Or take down the government from the inside by influencing the people to see what was really going on? That last one my friend is what happened in Germany
can gain access to the core of the earth. With the Icelander Hans as their guide, the party undertakes the rugged journey up to the mountain, stopping to rest along the way at the homes of Icelanders. Through these people, they learn much about the culture. Once they reach the mountain, the three descend into the crater and after several days figure out which of three shafts is the one through which they can make their journey. Aided by Hans' s knowledge of how to use ropes, they travel downward more
visions, I overlook a slightly smaller medium: the postage stamp. Caught in my busy routine, I rarely stop to closely examine these gems. A square inch canvass can often reward the viewer more than a mural will. With his unique Picasso meets Dali style, Hans Erni rekindled my interest in stamp collecting. Born in Lucerne, Erni shared my Swiss heritage as well as boasting a considerable amount of artistic prowess. More than 90 postage stamps from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the United Nations feature
Book Report Martin Luther The Great Reformer By: J. A. Morrison On November 10, 1483, Martin Luther was born. His parents were Hans and Margaret Luther. Martin came from a poor family. The Luther's were Germans. They lived in the Thuringian Mountains near Eisleben. Martin Luther was still a small baby when his parents moved from Eisleben to Mansfeld, where his father found work in the mines. Martin, his brother, and his three sisters didn't have the easiest childhood to grow up with.
characterize a soil. One such feature is aggregates. There are many different types of aggregates, such as platy, prismatic, granule, blocky, angular, and more. There are several different factors which influence the formation of these aggregates. Hans Jenny, in his book Factors of Soil Formation (1941), recognizes five factors which influence soil formation: climate, biota, topography, parent material, and time. This paper will explore each of these factors in order to gain a better understanding
the mental state of the pioneer when living in total desolation. For the male pioneers, living on the prairie was almost a dream. This was the place one could hunt and build. This was the place one could live off of his own hands. For example, Per Hans is basically happy with the prairie from the beginning to the end of the book. He knows that someday it will become a large town or city that he helped start or that in the future it will be the same clear and peaceful prairie forever. He finds happiness
day, this new topic seemed to have more personal significance to my life. And so I began research on this topic with purely selfish motivations- to better understand the phenomenon of stress. A relatively new concept involving brain and behavior, Hans Selye first proposed the idea of stress as a normal adaptive syndrome, a fight-or- flight situation, very similar to escape behavior (1). Stress is defined as "the set of all organic reactions to physical, psychic, infectious, or other, aggressions
Israelis and the Palestinians in the Mideast. These two countries have been at arms for years and have just recently used diplomacy as a tool to settle their differences. Basically, diplomacy is a function of national power. This view was stated by Hans J. Morgenthau and supported in his essay, The Future of Diplomacy. Diplomacy, in the eyes of Morgenthau, is fourfold. First of all, diplomacy must take in respect the objective and the means by which it can be attained. For example, if a weak nation
children did not know, i.e., what Rosenthal had kept hidden, was that the rats were chosen at random. There were no rats that were especially bright or dull. Another case of the experimenter expectancy effect was that of the horse known as “Clever Hans”. It seemed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by kicking his leg a number of times. The horse was tested and passed, but what the experts did not realize was that their own hopes for the horse to answer the questions, were giving the
Martin Luther grew up in a time when there was basically one religion to look upon. Luther was born on November 10, 1483, in Eisleben, Germany. He was raised Catholic by his family that was held together by his father, Hans. Hans was a miner, and he worked his way up to the middle class by leasing mines and furnaces. With the money that he earned, he bought his family a house, and he became a well-respected citizen of their new hometown, Mansfeld. At seven years old, Martin began his schooling to
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties periods, authors composed many short writings that related a type of matter or event that they called “strange.” There were the accounts of strange concerned marvelous objects from foreign places, the wonderful feats of magicians and alchemists, event involved meetings between humans and ghost. These accounts are called in Chinese zhiguai or “accounts of the strange.” As the most important early example of the zhiguai genre, the book Sou shen ji (In Search
A Critical Interpretation of Hans Kung’s Historical Analysis of the Development of the Hierarchical Church The beginnings of the Christian church are shrouded in mystery. With the lack of evidence about that time in history, it is hard to draw conclusions of any type. However, the historical analyst, Hans Kung, has written a book to shed some light on the subject. In this book, Kung discusses his opinion on the development of the early church, and its hierarchical structure. In the following paper
men and their adventures as they descend into the depths of the earth. The leading character in this expedition is a fifty-year-old German professor named Hardwigg. He is an uncle to the narrator, Henry (Harry), a simple Englishman. The other man is Hans, a serene Icelandic guide. Professor Hardwigg finds a piece of parchment that written in Runic in a book. Harry finds out before his uncle that it says there is a way to get into the center of the earth through a mountain (Mt. Sneffels) in Iceland
The Reliability and Validity of Hans Eysenck's EPI Test The aim of this investigation was to look at the reliability and validity of Hans Eysenck's EPI Test. The EPI questionnaire comprises of items of a 'yes/no' variety. They are essentially intended as research tools (as opposed to diagnostic tools for use in clinical settings) and, as such, 'they are regarded as acceptable, reliable and valid' (Kline 1981, Shackleton and Fletcher, 1984).The Alternative Hypothesis was that there would
With You Until The End 1. The story, "The Devoted Friend", is a lesson to be learned. It shows how one can manipulate as well as how one can be manipulated. It also shows just how far some people will go for a friend. In this case, Hans gave up taking care of his garden to help a "true" friend and died doing so. Author Oscar Wilde gives good detail of the characters and sets up conflicts within the plot to emphasize on the theme, a devoted friend is one that is with you, and will do anything
