The document discusses several groups that opposed the Nazi movement in Germany: The Edelweiss Pirates were disenfranchised working class youth who mocked the Hitler Youth by changing lyrics in songs and sheltering escaped prisoners. The July Plotters were army officers who attempted to assassinate Hitler in 1944. The White Rose group was a non-violent resistance group led by Hans and Sophie Scholl that published anti-Nazi leaflets calling for democracy. They were caught, tried for treason and executed.
