Die Weisse Rose

But soon he was disappointed by the Hitler Youth. The prohibition of a flag that he and his comrades had crafted to make it the symbol of their community was a key turning point in the attitude of Hans. The rupture was complete. He left the camp and chose to study medicine. It enriches his readings focusing in particular to ancient philosophers such Socrates and Plato. His sister, Sophie, joined him soon after.

In an old man he visited every day, Hans made the acquaintance of poets, scientists and philosophers who often frequented this house. He met Alexander Schmorell including the son of a doctor in Munich. A deep friendship was born between them.

And the Resistance was born ...

A powerful and moving book that shows a face of the little-known story and yet deserves more recognition.
