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.

Well this was curious, I think Sophie Scholl and the White Rose draws quite strongly on this, however I think this book by Inge Aicher-Scholl is more successful as a literary product, she was the sister who survived the Nazi regime, although she mentions in passing being in prison she does not spell out her non-involvement in her sibling's and their circle's resistance activism. Here the book is really very odd, but I will come back to that. The tone is gentle, and oddly even a little dreamWe read history in order not to have to repeat it. ~ Dorothee SölleIf I were a teacher, this book would be required reading, no matter what class I taught. I would find a way to make it relevant to the course. Outside Germany, these people are not known and they should be. Indeed, even in my college WWII class they were barely mentioned. Every child should be taught about the incredible sacrifice these young adults made in order to stand against what they knew, instinctively, to be wrong.
This was a hard book to read. It was not long or poorly written but the subject was so sad that I picked it up and set it down a number of times since I bought my copy nearly 20 years ago. The White Rose was a very small group of German university students in Munich in 1943. They had the incredible self-sacrificing courage to oppose Hitler and his Nazi machine. There was no violence in their opposition, they didn't hurt anyone, for for their willingness to state that Hitler and Nazism was evil

After I learned the name of Sophie Scholl through an online article I wanted to learn more about this courageous girl and her brother and their friends, who were executed by the Nazis in 1943 for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at their college. Executed. For distributing leaflets. There are several books about the Scholls and their friends, but I chose this one to start as it was written by their sister, Inge, and I felt it would be a good personal introduction. I was not disappointed.People
Die Weiße Rose (The White Rose) Inge Aicher-Scholl was the sister of Hans and Sophie Scholl, the founders of the German student resistance group Die Weiße Rose in Nazi Germany. She was born on August 11th , 1917 and died on the 4th September 1998 . She did not participate in her siblings activities concerning the Weiße Rose resistance, but in her book, she honors them and tells their stories. What would you have done in Nazi Germany? A question that all of us must at some point ask ourselves.

Definitely full of interesting information. Different accounts of the events from different perspectives. The first part is a story of their childhoods and their lives told from the perspective of their surviving sister Inge. Then it moves on the the actual leaflets. These were interesting to read since I had never actually read them in their entirety. Then it went on to the court documents and a really interesting letter written by the woman who shared a cell with Sophie during her final days.
