We Will Not Be Silent: The Story of the White Rose

Taylor University Theatre presents this new work by Indiana playwright William Gebby. 

This play is set during the darkest days of WWII, when a handful of Germans—armed with typewriter, hand-cranked duplicating machine, and courage—distributed thousands of anti-Nazi leaflets and worked toward unifying resistance across Germany.

Their ultimate goal? To  remove Hitler from power.

Their name? The White Rose.

Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie, their friends Alex Schmorell, Christoph Probst, and Willi Graf were students, intellectuals, romantics.  Most importantly, they were Christians. Their belief in God compelled them to fight a regime that was anti-Christian and, therefore, anti-human. That fight cost them their lives. William Gebby’s new play celebrates these brave young people who were and will not be silent.
