Description
In his signature eloquent prose, subsidized up by thorough research, Russell Freedman tells the tale of Austrian-born Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie. They belonged to Hitler Youth as small children, but started to doubt the Nazi regime. As older students, the Scholls and a couple of friends formed the White Rose, a campaign of active resistance to Hitler and the Nazis. Risking imprisonment and even execution, the White Rose members distributed leaflets urging Germans to defy the Nazi government. Their belief that freedom was once price dying for will inspire young readers to rise up for what they imagine in. Archival photographs and prints, source notes, bibliography, index.
