Books take us on a journey. They can open doors for us, transport us to other worlds and give us courage to devote our own lives to a higher good.
Sophie Scholl, who was part of the »White Rose« resistance group during the Third Reich, discovered for herself that reading is freedom. She drew the strength for her resolute acts from good reading. And reading led her to a freedom to decide; to decide for the good and the necessary. Her story has become a symbol for many and even 75 years after her violent death, it still moves people’s hearts. Her life is a synonym for exemplary civil courage and resistance to Hitler’s dictatorship.
Barbara Ellermeier has compiled this lovingly designed volume of previously unknown material including texts and sketches by Sophie Scholl.
