Sophie Scholl and Annalise Brandt are brave women who are willing to stand up for what they believe even at the cost of their lives.


At first the idea of a New Germany had Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor.  But when she realizes the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland. Now she and some of the other students in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi goverment came together to form a group to fight for the tru itth: the White Rose.  The group risks  everything in order to print and distribute leaflets that ask for Germans to rise up  up against the evil that has taken hold of their  country, the White Rose treads a knife's edge of discovery by the Gestapo.



Annalise Brandt was attending to the University of Munich to study art she had no intention to get wrapped up in a conspiracy.    Annalise was after all the daughter of an SS officer who had been brought up to believe that the Fuher's leadership was divinely appointed. But as she learned more from her friends, the more she questions the Nazi Propoganda.



Before long Annalise joins the ranks of her friends, student by day, resister by night.  When the stakes increase.  They are all forced to confront the deadly consequences meted out to any who dare to oppose the Reich.




I give The White Rose Resists five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
