Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
|
|
by Annette Dumbach and Jud Newborn
|
|
Historical account of Sophie Scholl, a young University of Munich student who, together with her brother Hans and several others, formed the White Rose society to alert others to the true evil of the Third Reich. In an effort to combat the rampant Nazi propoganada, they composed leaflets denouncing National Socialism and mailed them randomly by the hundreds across Germany and Austria. They realized, long before others did, that their beloved nation of Goethe and Schiller was being turned into a seething pit of hatred and paranoia by Hitler and his minions. You can guess what happened to Scholl and her compatriots. This is a fascinating biography and piece of history.
