The state of abandonment and desolation of the graves is evident.
This is what is called a “National Monument” in Germany!

I DENOUNCE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE

in particular

for having acted, for over sixty years, with the sole intention of concealing the great miscarriage of justice resulting in the executions of the protagonists - rather than celebrating or honouring their memory - The above-mentioned protagonists were united together in a resistance movement, named the WHITE ROSE , brought to trial, and executed by the Nazi regime for distributing anti-war and anti-Nazi propaganda.

for having acted scrupulously, with all the diligence and treachery imaginable, inorder to destroy and bury the memory of these fantastic boys and girls of the SecondWorld War, together with their philosophy professor - KURT HUBER -

Rather than celebrating and honouring the assassinated students’memory – hypocritically remembered using one of their surnames (the SCHOLL brothers) as the name of the University square and of a pseudo memorial nearby – in practice, the most shameful and disgraceful of deeds has been carried out with cynical and intentional indifference, through incredible disregard proven by the following facts:

1) AN ABSURD, SO-CALLED FOUNDATION of the WHITE ROSE

(the "STIFTUNG WEISSE ROSE" situated in Munich, with a certain FRANZ-JOSEPH MULLER as the chairman- but who really is this man? What is his real identity? Is he really that martyr of the German resistance that he boasts about?)

It was established with one aim – the opposite to what is expressed in its own charter, which provides for the circulation and public awareness of the historical event and its unfortunate protagonists – to oppose in any way, serious research carried out into the incident and to not offer any explanation or documentation, nor even a minimum contribution intended to clear up the hundreds of unclear areas relating to the movement’s history.

Mr. Franz-Joseph Můller closes up like a clam to every question, gives only evasive answers, does not offer any clarification and blatantly lies when he claims that he does not possess any of the protagonists’ written material (they regularly wrote personal diaries) nor legal documents pertaining to the trial. However, the very same legal documents, including the Nazi police’s interrogation reports and those of the hearing when the death sentence was pronounced, were made public in 1991. In fact, the victims’ families are in possession of these documents, in particular in the hands of the only surviving member of the Scholl family, (Elisabeth), and also the heir (Manuel Aicher) of the other sister (Inge Scholl-Aicher), who died recently in 1998.

2) THE SCHOLL FAMILY HOUSE has been let out to a type of tenant-watchdog who bars entry to any aspiring visitor. In addition – a fact which is seriously offensive to the Scholl’s memory- the house seems to have been ransacked, as it is literally distorted inside, making it completely unrecognisable in comparison to the original layout. Who authorised this destruction?

3) THE COMMEMORATIVE WRITING ON THE WALL next to the front door is faded, flaking and absolutely illegible even for the most eager passer-by (I’ve been observing it in person for almost four years).

 

4) THE GRAVES of THE SCHOLLS and PROFESSOR PROBST, situated in Perlach cemetery in Munich are squalid and disgraceful.

Just three rusty iron crosses, a little bit of climbing Ivy to make a two-sided wall around the graves and NOT EVEN ONE FLOWER AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR, even when all the other graves overflow with multicoloured plants, evergreens and bunches of flowers, especially in Spring and Summer.

I have been able to observe this in person, together with my companion, on four consecutive visits to the graves in past years, one in each season.

(It is worth remembering that as early as 1968, the Scholl’s memorial ceremony at Munich University had to be suspended owing to the protests of the Student Movement. According to the leader of the protests, the anniversary had become nothing but a weary ritual, considering that the people in power, namely the official representatives of the economy and politics, called upon to remember the Scholl’s sacrifice, in reality regularly betrayed the moral and political legacy).

The motto of the youngsters of the White Rose was:
THE WHITE ROSE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU IN PEACE!
