From amazon.co.uk:
In 1942, five young German students and one professor at the University of Munich crossed the threshold of toleration to enter the realms of resistance, danger and death. Protesting in the name of principles Hitler thought he had killed forever, Sophie Scholl and other members of the White Rose realized that the 'Germanization' Hitler sought to enforce was cruel and inhuman, and that they could not be content to remain silent in its midst. With detailed chronicles of Scholl's arrest and trial before Hitler's Hanging Judge, Roland Freisler, as well as appendices containing all of the leaflets the White Rose wrote and circulated, this volume is an invaluable addition to World War II literature and a fascinating window into human resilience in the face of dictatorship.

We came across this book while wondering round the amazing Verzetsmuseum on Friday 17th September. If you haven't been there we'd definitely recommend it - we only planned to for an hour but were there for much longer and only left because we ran out of time! Anyway, back to the book - we found it perched on an antique bicycle and once we'd realised what this scheme is all about we decided to take it with us on our journey. We have now brought it back home with us to Leatherhead in the UK and are looking forward to reading it. We'll report back soon.
