The German is wonderfully accessible for senior groups. Written as if Inge Scholl is sitting talking to you. No heavy political discourse, more "this is how it was for us as a family". You see what happened in the 30s that steadily led the characters to the point they could take no more and had to do something other than wringing their hands on the sidelines. You see how Nazism permeated life to the point that they saw doing nothing as a betrayal of conscience.
Of the 202 pgs only the first 75 are a telling of the "weisse Rose" story till 1945. Short but very clear and readable so you get a feel of the timeline and how fast it progressed once they made the move into political action. You also get a feel of their intellect and passion, and the role of "Vater" as parent, Fuhrer, Land and God.
The sections that follow are: the eight Flugblatter fliers; the two main trials (Scholl/Probst and Schmorell/Huber/ Graf); eye witness testimonies; reactions and voices.
It's a fascinating read. Highly recommended.
