The CenterDescription
Dr. Judd Newborn, who served as Founding Historian and Curator of New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage, presents a dramatic multimedia lecture program based on his acclaimed new book, “Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” companion to the 2006 Oscar-nominated German film, “Sophie Scholl: The Final Days.” Using music, historical photographs, artifacts and suspenseful storytelling Dr. Newborn reveals for the first time the suppressed homosexual arrest of teenaged Hans Scholl, explaining finally the secret that motivated Hans and his sister Sophie--former fanatical Hitler Youth leaders—to transform into the greatest heroes of the German anti-Nazi resistance. Newborn then relates the White Rose story to today’s most compelling current events (including those affecting the LGBT Community), presenting an array of “White Rosers” today who risk themselves for freedom and our shared humanity.
