York Suburban exhibit focuses on Nazi resistance movement

The exhibit, which includes 45 panels of photographs and information, is on loan from the White Rose Society in Germany. Students designed how the exhibit is set up in the library, where books related to the Scholls, the Holocaust and related subjects accompany it. Continued
