THIS DAY @ LAW

Nazis arrest White Rose leaders

On February 18, 1943, the Nazi government of Germany arrested the two leaders of the White Rose movement, brother and sister Hans and Sophie Scholl. The White Rose was a German group, primarily comprised of students, that advocated non-violent resistance to the Nazi government in Germany. After the Scholls were arrested, the remaining members of the White Rose were captured by the end of 1943. The Scholls were convicted of treason on February 22, 1943, and sentenced to death. Read the pamphlets spread by the members of the White Rose.

Chicago Seven verdicts rendered

On February 18, 1970, a US jury rendered its verdicts in the trial of the Chicago Seven, who were charged in connection with the violence that had erupted at the 1968 Democratic Convention. The jury acquitted all defendants on conspiracy while finding five guilty of intent to incite a riot while crossing state lines. Learn more about the trial of the Chicago Seven from Douglas Linder of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law.
