Anneliese Knoop-Graf (born January 30, 1921 in Euskirchen , † August 27, 2009 in Bühl ) was a German publicist on the subject of resistance against National Socialism and headmistress. She was the sister of Willi Graf , who was a member of the White Rose resistance movement .

Life

After the Scholl siblings were arrested, she and her brother Willi, who also belonged to the core of the White Rose, were arrested on February 18, 1943. You were arrested by the Gestapo in Munich . In April 1943 Willi Graf was sentenced to death and executed in October 1943.

In the post-war period, her brother's mission, his legacy, to “carry on what we started” became her life's work. Knoop-Graf was involved in extensive publications and lectures on the history of the resistance against National Socialism.

In her honor, a commemorative publication was published on her 80th birthday in 2001 with contributions a. a. by Inge and Walter Jens , Rudolf von Thadden , Hildegard Hamm-Brücher , Jürgen Reulecke , Peter Steinbach and Johannes Tuchel .

Since 1987 she has been deputy chairwoman of the Weisse Rose Foundation e. V. in Munich.

Head of the Landerziehungsheim Marienau

Her later husband, the teacher Bernhard Knoop , took over ownership and management of the "school community on Gut Marienau" in Lower Saxony on April 2, 1937 in agreement with the National Socialist government . In 1937 the “school community” officially became the “Niederdeutsche Landerziehungsheim Marienau” in order to “externally make clear the departure from the previous liberal, reformed pedagogical tradition (“ school community ”)”. The Jewish educational reformist founder of the Landerziehungsheim Max Bondy and his wife Gertrud had previously been expropriated and survived in the USA.

From 1946, Bernhard Knoop and his second wife Anneliese Knoop-Graf ran the Marienau Rural Educational Home until 1969. The school's history of reform Jewish and educational reform remained largely unnoticed until 1985 after the war.
