2021 marks the 100th anniversary of Sophie Scholl’s birth on 9 May 1921. As part of its commemoration events this year, the Oxford White Rose Project will hold a one-day colloquium focusing on the White Rose resistance pamphlets on Friday 7 May 2021. The pamphlets were inspired by literature and philosophy, and include quotations from Goethe, Schiller, Novalis, Laozi, Aristotle, Cicero, and St Augustine.
