The White Rose & Beloved Community: Annual Event on May 8 & 9

The White Rose & The Beloved Community

May 8–9, 2026
International Servant Leaders Museum

A two-evening experience honoring courage, conscience, and the call to serve humanity.

About the Event

Join us for a powerful gathering that brings together exhibition, poetry, and music to reflect on the lives of three servant leaders who stood against injustice:

• Sophie Scholl – The courage to resist
• Mirza Jahangir Khan Sur-e Esrafil – The courage to speak truth
• Audrey Hepburn – The courage to serve

Through their stories, we explore what it means to act with moral clarity in times of darkness—and how each of us is called to serve.
