The White Rose - a German youth resistance organization whose existence was a startling anomaly in the
history of the Second World War - made headlines around the world when it was discovered, despite Nazi
Germany's attempt to suppress it. Later, the story of the execution of these young people was depicted in
a prize-winning film. But the moving story of the medical students in Munich who organized the White Rose, the brother and sister who defied Hitler, who bought a press and distributed illegal pamphlets denouncing Der Fuhrer and the atrocities of the Gestapo-run society, has not, until now, been fully told.
Dumbach and Newbom, scholars of modem Gennany, have meticulously reconstructed the history of the White Rose from interviews with surviving relatives, court records, diaries, and letters. ( )
