Yesterday we visited the German Resistance Museum, located in the building where general Stauffenberg worked and planned his assassination plot and attempted coup against Hitler. The exhibits here highlighting all phases of resistance to national socialism from labor unions, youth, Jews and ordinary citizens were all in German but they had complimentary audio guides in English to explain them. 

Courtyard where Stauffenberg and his fellow plotters were executed after their failed plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. His story is the subject of a good movie starring Tom Cruise - Vallkerie.

Photo from the museum highlighting some people who helped Jews escape at great risk to themselves, including Otto Weidt, seen in top row; he was the owner of a workshop manufacturing brushes and brooms who fought with the Gestapo over the fate of every Jewish worker, insisting they were vital to the war effort, saving many, even rescuing a young girl from Auschwitz.  He was recognized posthumously by Yad Vashem as "Righteous Among the Nations."
