The Rosenstrasse
Protest: Commemorating the 80th Anniversary
Sunday,
February 26 | 3:00 PM ET
The Rosenstrasse Protest of 1943 was held against the incarceration
and potential deportation of roughly 2,000 people who were arrested
by the Gestapo on February 27, 1943. Protests continued for a week
until Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels ordered the prisoners’ release on
March 6, 1943. This program marks the 80th anniversary of the
protest and the context of the mass arrest which targeted “exempted”
Jews, a term used for those who were married to a non-Jew or had one
non-Jewish parent.
