Description
The 75th Anniversary Edition
In 1942, five young German students and one professor on the University of Munich crossed the threshold of toleration to go into the realms of resistance, danger and death. Protesting in the name of principles Hitler thought he had killed without end, Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose realized that the ‘Germanization’ Hitler sought to implement was once cruel and inhuman, and that they could not be content to remain silent in its midst. With detailed chronicles of Scholl’s arrest and trial before Hitler’s Hanging Pass judgement on, Roland Freisler, in addition to appendices containing all the leaflets the White Rose wrote and circulated, this volume is a useful addition to World War II literature and a captivating window into human resilience in the face of dictatorship.
