The White Rose Project was led by Dr Alexandra Lloyd. Alex is a Fellow by Special Election in German Studies at St Edmund Hall, and Lecturer in German at Magdalen College and University College (University of Oxford). She teaches German language and literature from the mid-eighteenth to the twenty-first century, translation between German and English, and film studies. Her main research interests lie in twentieth-century literature and visual culture. Her first book, Childhood, Memory, and the Nation: Young Lives under Nazism in Contemporary German Culture, was published in 2020. In 2022 her book on the White Rose, Defying Hitler – The White Rose Pamphlets appeared with Bodleian Library Publishing. She received a Teaching Excellence Award from the university’s Humanities Division in June 2019 for her work with students on the White Rose Translation Project.
White Rose Project Student Translators
Every year, we issued a call for translators from among the undergraduate student body at the University of Oxford. The translators worked on texts by and about the White Rose resistance circle. They were at the heart of our work.
