I n a cemetery in part of the Perlach forest is a graveyard that contains the the remains of the victims of the National Socialist Regime. Among those dead are the first three members of the White Rose to fall to the blade of the Fallbeil (Guillotine).

Outside of the cemetery is a sign that directs one to the place where some of the members of the white rose are laied to rest. The only main members not to be buried here are Professor Huber and Willi Graf. They lie elsewhere. The sign is pretty explainatory and is translated on the right into English.
