The dramatic true story of a handful of students who resisted the
Nazis and paid with their lives, now in a stunning graphic novel.
With an entire nation blindly following an evil leader, where did a
handful of students find the courage to resist? The university
students who formed the White Rose, an undercover resistance
movement in Nazi Germany, knew that doing so could cost them their
lives. But some things are worth dying for. The White Rose printed
and distributed leaflets to expose Nazi atrocities and wake up
their fellow citizens. The Gestapo caught and executed them. Sophie
Scholl was twenty-one; her brother Hans, twenty-four; Christoph
Probst, twenty-three; Alexander Schmorell and Willi Graf,
twenty-five. But the White Rose was not silenced. Their heroism
continues to inspire new generations of resisters. Now, for the
first time, this story that has been celebrated in print and film
can be experienced as a graphic novel. Italian artist Andrea Grosso
Ciponte's haunting imagery will resonate with today's students and
activists. The challenges they face may vary, but the need for
young people to stand up against evil, whatever the cost, will
remain.
