White Rose

Tells the story of Sophie Scholl, a young German college student who challenges the Nazi regime during World War II as part of the White Rose, a non-violent resistance group.

The following year, Sophie and her brother were arrested for treason and interrogated for information about their collaborators. This debut novel recounts the lives of Sophie and her friends and highlights their brave stand against fascism in Nazi Germany.

Excerpt

White Rose

FEBRUARY 18, 1943 Gestapo Headquarters The cars screech to a halt, officers pull us out by the arms, haul us inside and off to Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â separate rooms, my heartbeat pounding all the while, boom-boom, boom-boom. They swing the door shut, unlock my handcuffs, order me to sit, rush about with coats, hats, cases, papers as I try not to give in to the overwhelming, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â sickening knowledge spreading through me: the two of us are trapped in this net because of me. Boom-boom, boom-boom. I take a deep breath and prepare to fight for our lives. INTERROGATION I carefully blend a cupful of lies into the bucket of truth spread out in front of me as Herr Mohr shoots question after question, trying to catch me off-guard. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â FrÃ¤ulein Scholl, why were you carrying Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â an empty suitcase with you to the university? So I could pick up clean laundry from home. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â And why were you at the university Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â if you were planning to head to Ulm? So I could let my friend Gisela know I couldn't meet her for lunch after all. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Why were you and your brother Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â in the corridor upstairs? So I could show him the Psychological Institute where I take classes. His eyes narrow, his voice icy, Herr Mohr is good at this, but he doesn't know that I'm good, too. Boom-boom, boom-boom. My voice sounds so calm telling these lies, I barely recognize the words as my own. Excerpted from White Rose by Kip Wilson All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
