Abstract
The Rosenstrasse Foundation was founded in 2018 based on Dr. Nathan Stoltzfus’ research surrounding the Rosentrasse Protest (1943). The foundation has three goals: to educate the public, to honor those that participated in the protest, and to create a platform for their descendants too reunite and read about their family history. The research assistants’ task was to look through Holocaust survivor archives and find candidates to write a biography on, find more archives, and continually update and edit our biographies. While many of them are participants in the Rosenstrasse Protest, they do not have to be and can be citizens who committed other acts of civil disobedience.
