One of the references is to a song sang by the White Rose. Thoughts are Free, or Die Gedanken Sind Frei. In Germany, there is a monument to the White Rose Society and the pacifists that died standing up and speaking out.

There is great bravery among us still. For example the White Rose Society of Texas. https://www.whiterosesociety.com/white-rose-society-texas.html
