Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
Sophie Scholl and the White Rose | Jud Newborn, Annette Dumbach
3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
In the spring and summer of 1942, five young German students and one professor at the University of Munich crossed the threshold of toleration to enter the realms of resistance, danger and death. Protesting in the name of principles Hitler thought he had killed forever, Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose realized that the Germanization Hitler sought to enforce was cruel and inhuman, and that they could not be content to remain silent in its midst. From its inception to its end, the captivating story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose is an uplifting and enlightening account of German resistance to the Third Reich. With detailed chronicles of Scholls arrest and trial before Hitlers Hanging Judge, Roland Freisler, as well as appendices containing all of the leaflets the White Rose wrote and circulated exhorting Germans to stand up and fight back, this volume is an invaluable addition to World War II literature and a fascinating window into human resilience in the face of dictatorship.

This book tells the true story of 5 Munich university students, who set up an underground resistance movement against the Nazis, & their tragic fate.

This was all new to me as although I've read quite a bit about WWII, I'd never heard of the 'White Rose'. The story of their tragically short-lived efforts to establish a resistance movement against the Nazis is an important one, but I felt a bit short-changed with regards to the people themselves.

OutsmartYourShelf The book tells us about their actions & their ideals & that they all showed remarkable courage even when facing their deaths, but very little about them as individuals so the reader is always kept at a distance from the main subjects. I don't feel as if I know anything about Sophie or her brother, Hans, outside of the group. The researching of the events was well done though. 3.75🌟
