During World War II, Germany's Nazi forces stormed across Europe, committing horrific crimes against Jewish people and others. In 1942, 21-year-old Sophie Scholl formed a student-led, anti-Nazi organization called the White Rose. Their goal: to distribute informational pamphlets to draw public attention to Nazi crimes and, ultimately, stop them. Scholl's activism and resistance eventually led to her capture and trial by the Nazi regime. In this full-colour graphic novel, discover more about this daring woman who risked everything to stand up for what she believed in.
