Project Summary
Your Bad Conscience is a new podcast series telling the story of The White Rose resistance circle: five students and a professor who confronted Nazism and paid with their lives. A collaboration between the University of Oxford’s White Rose Project and the award-winning vocal ensemble SANSARA, the podcast combines newly translated letters, diaries and pamphlets with choral music to create an emotive and haunting sound world, befitting this remarkable and timely story of resistance to extremism. The members of the White Rose witnessed at first hand the persecution and suffering cause by Nazism and World War II. They had a passionate belief in the freedom of the individual and social responsibility and turned their outrage into action. It was their serious engagement with a wide range of cultural influences and experiences which made that possible. As they boldly declared in one of their anti-fascist resistance pamphlets: "We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will never leave you in peace!".
