The exhibit's name, "Long Live Freedom," comes from the last words spoken by Hans Scholl (far left) as he was executed by decapitation for his participation in a group known as "White Rose."
Civil disobedience in Nazi Germany was a difficult task. Those who did push back against the right-wing extremism of Adolf Hitler risked their limited freedom, or even their lives.
