edelweißpiraten sind treu

“Where did they meet?”
“Look around for somewhere to hide. That's where they were."
“Look around for somewhere to hide. That's where they were."
None of the boys and girls who hid in the woods are still alive, they who road their bicycles and camped in the countryside with their guitars and their desire to be young and free.
It was 1934 when the songs of the Edelweißpiraten began to echo through a Germany increasingly restricted by a more and more violent regime.
In my work, I have followed the paths of those boys and girls who took many risks in order to be free, accompanied by the memories of those who heard their stories while growing up, children of the juvenile resistance.
