On this day, 27 February 1943, the Rosenstrasse protest, began – the only mass public demonstration by Germans against the deportation of Jews. The protests lasted until March, outside a detention centre on Rosenstrasse. They were organised by non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men who had just been picked up in a brutal wave of arrests across Berlin. The tenacity of the women, who had refused to divorce their husbands, and shown that they were willing to die to protect their Jewish family, may have forced Nazi authorities temporarily to back down. Unlike most European Jews, those who were detained in Rosenstrasse survived the Holocaust.
