Some Germans and other Europeans didn't agree with the Nazi's, and so they created various resistance movements.  Find out more through researching one of these resistance movements listed below.  (Ask your parents for help if needed to do this online, or you may use an encyclopedia.  Do not use Wikipedia.) When did the movement start?  What did it seek to do or stand against?  Who were its leaders and members?  

Prepare a two or three minute report; share it with your parents and be ready to share what you learned with the class on Friday.

(Dutch resistance movement, The White Rose, Edelweiss Pirates, Greek resistance movement, The Home Army, The People's Guard, French resistance movement, Italian resistance movement, or the Swing Kids.)
