So when they had found out about the white rose, they had evacuated the entire town where white rose was located. Then they put hundreds of them even if they weren’t Jews in a line and shot them in the head one by one. But for the White Rose it was worse because they were tormented for the crimes they had done. The Gestapo had put them up on poles and beat them under Hitler’s orders. Even after the White Rose members were beaten they would still preach for the Jews (Hughes & Mathews).

The organization wanted to try their best to stop these brutal killings of their people in any way that they possibly can. They believed that they should have consequences for their mass murders. Jews were very scared to be taken by the Nazis during this time. Unfortunately, not many Jews even made it to the camps before dying of starvation or even suffocation from the floor being coated with lime or chlorine and sprinkled with water and from being so cramped in a train with one another (Memorandum). Jews were forced against their will, taken to these camps just to be killed days later by the Nazis.

They later received the commands to begin to wipe out the Jews by murdering them in the crematoriums and gas chambers.

What Moshe mentioned is unfathomable when he said that the “train with the deportees had crossed the Hungarian border and, once in Polish territory, had been taken over by the Gestapo … They were forced to dig huge trenches. When they had finished their work, the men from the Gestapo … without passion or haste, they shot their prisoners” (Night 6).
