They named their group the White Rose, and they distributed leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime. Sophie, Hans, and a third student (Christoph Probst) were caught and executed.Written by Inge Scholl (Han's and Sophie's sister), this book features letters, diary excerpts, photographs of Hans and Sophie, transcriptions of the leaflets, and accounts of the trial and execution. This is a gripping account of courage and morality
