This book is an excellent way to learn new vocabulary if you are an English speaker, trying to expand your German vocabulary. I would look for more books of this series.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012
A wonderful book. I stumbled across this when looking for materials for my senior group who'd just seen "Sophie Scholl" with me. Unfortunately so much background info currently available is either in uni level German or Wikipedia style overview. I wanted something that gave a feel of the motivations and character of the people involved. This is it.

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.

rien à redire sur l'état du livre mais l'histoire ne m'a personnellement pas plu. Ce qui n'empêche pas d'autres d'apprécier cette lecture.

Reviewed in Germany on October 19, 2014
This book is good and has some illustrations. It could have:
more modern cover (I think they are working on it) and
activities for each chapter.
