About this title

Synopsis

Presents the journal of a young German brother and sister who were at the heart of the student movement against Hitler, and were martyred for their convictions

Reviews

The Scholls were key members of the White Rose, a student organization centered at the University of Munich that for several months (1942-43) prepared and disseminated anti-Nazi leaflets. Representing six years worth of diaries and letters, these well-edited extracts suggest how, over time, both brother and sister subconsciously prepared for the brave work they eventually undertook. It is simultaneously uplifting and agonizing to witness their gradual moral/philosophical development and their speedy capture and execution. For more specific information on the actual organization, see their sister Inge Scholl's The White Rose: Munich, 1942-1943 ( Wesleyan Univ. Pr., 1983). For public and academic libraries. Mark R.
