Abstract

What are the social responsibilities of doctors and health care professionals? Join us for a conversation with Dr. Salvatore Mangione, physician, faculty member, and researcher on the White Rose Resistance Group. The White Rose was a Nazi Resistance Group made up of German medical students and faculty who had an expansive view of what it means to be a doctor. From 1942-1943, the group spoke out and distributed leaflets against Hitler and the atrocities the Nazi government and army committed. Most members of the White Rose were captured and executed. But, as they wrote in one of their leaflets, “We will not be silent," and their courage and legacy are remembered today.
