  1. The Rosenstrasse Protest

  2. The Rosenstrasse Protest was a non-violent reaction from the woman of Germany during the Nazi dictatorship. • It took place around the 27th of February 1943 during the Holocaust when the Nazis wanted to do a final round up of Jews in Berlin during Fabrikaktion. • Fabrikaktion is the term for the roundup of the last Jews to be deported, or banished, from Berlin. It started around the 27th of February 1943.

  3. The Jewish victims were snatched from the streets, forced from factories, and torn away from their homes and families. • They were forced with whips and bayonets into trucks awaiting them, and taken to collection centers around the city.

  4. 10,000 Berlin Jews were arrested during the final roundup and 8000 of them were deported to Auschwitz, where they were murdered. • The Jews married to Aryan Germans were separated from the rest, and locked up at Rosenstrasse 2-4. • Rosenstrasse 2-4 was a welfare office for the Jewish community in central Berlin, Germany.

  5. While the arrested Jews (mostly men) were in Rosenstrasse, their wives realized what was going on. • The German wives of these Jews, slowly at first, began arriving at Rosenstrasse, and only with the intention of finding their husbands. But as the number of lost husbands grew, the women became more courageous and united. • Nearly 6000 people participated in the protest, thought not at the same time.

  6. For nearly a week in early 1943, hundreds of unarmed German women stood up to the Gestapo, the official secret police of Nazi Germany who guarded the Rosenstrasse prisoners, and demanded the release of their Jewish husbands. • The Gestapo soon started to set up machine guns and threatened to shoot. The women didn’t care. The only thing they wanted was to get their husbands back.

  7. The women's courage and passion prevailed. On March the 6th, Joseph Goebbels, head of the Berlin Nazi party, ordered for the release of the Jews married to German Aryans. It was a last minute effort to hide the fact that such a massive protest had occurred. • As thousands of other Berlin Jews were packed into trucks and transported to Auschwitz, the Jews married to German Aryans were set free from the Rosenstrasse building.
