Copyrighted

This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic photograph, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the photographer who took the photograph or the agency employing the photographer. It is believed that the use of this photograph

  • to illustrate the event in question where:
  • The photograph depicts a non-reproducible historic event, and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
  • The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
  • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

If this does not accurately describe this image, please remove this tag and provide a different fair use rationale.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Fair use rationale: This is a historic photo with an apparently unknown or possibly deceased photographer. Because the subjects were later executed, the photo could not possibly be recreated. It is extremely famous and well known, and is in the USHMM and on the cover of books related to White Rose. --TexasDex 20:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Context: this was tagged for lack of copyright info August 24, 2006: this site states that the photo is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where it is on permanent display, and can be found here. The actual author seems unknown, and I think we should not delete this just yet. Judging from the wide use it is probably public domain, or at the very least falls under fair use. Please do not delete this unless it is confirmed that the image is protected under copyright. --TexasDex 04:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
