Rosenstrasse Demonstration

For several weeks in February-March 1943, non-Jewish family members of Jews detained during the Fabrikaktion (Factory Action) roundup of February 27, 1943 protested outside a building at Rosenstrasse 2-4 in Berlin. Their demonstation, one of the only public protests against the treatment of the Jews in Germany under the Nazis, continued until March 6 when many of the detained were freed.
