We Will Not Be Silent: The White Rose Student Resistance Movement That Defied Adolf Hitler

This history follows Hans and Sophie Scholl from their early involvement in Nazi youth organizations to their growing disillusionment with the regime. In Munich during the early 1940s, Hans, Sophie, and friends formed the White Rose resistance movement. Their means of opposition were secretly written, printed, and distributed leaflets urging Germans to resist fascism. The book recounts the group’s planning, capture, interrogation, brief trial, and the executions of Hans, Sophie, and another member in 1943.
