The White Rose proved that in times when violence and fear reigned in Germany, good consciences still existed. These college students were willing to give their lives for the betterment of their country. Their activism helped other German citizens with similar beliefs realize that they weren't alone. The courage, power, and bravery of the White Rose underpin its significance.
