Rosenstrasse Protest

Rosenstrasse Protest
   In February 1943 in Berlin, hundreds of Gentile women who were married to Jews protested the deportation of their husbands to the death camps. The wives and children of those targeted for deportation protested for six days and demanded that the government “Give us back our husbands!” Subsequently, Joseph Goebbels ordered that the men be set free. Twenty-five of those who had already been sent to Auschwitz were returned and sent to a concentration camp in Thuringia. The Rosenstrasse episode is the only known mass protest against the deportations in Nazi Germany.
