Summary:
A young woman made famous for her brave fight: Sophie Scholl. At a time when Germany was in the clutches of national socialism, she handed out leaflets against terror and fascism with the White Rose. But while Sophie Scholl fought against dictatorship and for justice as a staunch pacifist, her boyfriend Fritz Hartnagel, four years her senior, was an officer in the German armed forces. The letters exchanged between the two give a new perspective on Sophie Scholl’s life and beliefs, and constitute the basis for this graphic novel biography. The characters and the time period are brought to life through Ingrid Sabisch’s delicate and detailed illustrations. With an afterword by Dr. Hildegard Kronawitter (White Rose Foundation eV).
