DESTROY THE COAT OF EQUALITY, WHICH YOU HAVE EMBRACED IN YOUR HEART!
„Every people, every individual has the right to the goods of the world! Freedom of speech, freedom of confession, protection of the individual citizen from the arbitrary violence of criminal states—these are the foundations of the new Europe.“
In 1937 Huber took over the folk music department at the Berlin Institute for Music Research. In 1938 he was forbidden by the authorities because of his „catholic and universalist outlook“ from taking a teaching post at the Berlin University. He returned to Munich, where after joining the NSDAP in 1940 he became an extraordinary professor. Huber captivated his students above all through the breadth of his interests and through his vivid lectures. In June 1942 he Hans Scholl and his friends became acquainted. Together with Huber, he Hans Scholl formulated the political part of the fifth leaflet of the Weiße Rose and also wrote the sixth and final leaflet of the group in early February 1943. A Kurt Huber few days after this leaflet was distributed by the Scholl brothers at the University of Munich, he was arrested on February 27, 1943, sentenced to death by the People's Tribunal in Munich on April 19, 1943, and murdered in the Stadelheim prison in Munich on July 13, 1943.
