Abstract

This project intends to fulfill an internship that consists of a three month long research in the Ludwig Maximilan University, located in the city of Munich, (Germany), under the supervision of Professor Dr. Claudia Maria Riehl. The activities which will be fulfilled during one stay abroad, are divided into two parts: (i) taking classes in the German as a Foreign Language Institute and (ii) researching the collection that belongs to the White Rose Foundation, as well as researching a historical archive found in Munich (Institute of Contemporary History). With this structure, the research internship is going to bring fundamental contributions to the development of our master's project in Brazil, which has as a main objective the production of a commented translation of the interrogations made by the Nazi secret police with Hans and Sophie Scholl, members of the resistance group "The White Rose".
