OutsmartYourShelf
Sophie Scholl and the White Rose | Jud Newborn, Annette Dumbach

Pickpick

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🌟
