Información del libro
A powerful account of the resistance group made up of German students who opposed Nazism, written by the sister of two members who were killed. The White Rose tells the story of Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl, who in 1942 led a small underground organization of German students and professors to oppose the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazi Party. They named their group the White Rose, and they distributed leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime. Sophie, Hans, and a third student were caught and executed. Written by Inge Scholl (Han's and Sophie's sister), The White Rose features letters, diary excerpts, photographs of Hans and Sophie, transcriptions of the leaflets, and accounts of the trial and execution. This is a gripping account of courage and morality. "A sad and beautiful book; timely and timeless." — The Wall Street Journal "The existence of an organized resistance in Germany during the Third Reich has often been glossed over or ignored... Now for the first time this fascinating story, told by the surviving sister of two of the students, is available in accurate and readable English." — Library Journal
