The White Rose
By: Burton Flanagan

The White Rose was resistance group organized in Nazi Germany in the early 1940's. They practiced a form of passive resistance by issuing anonymous pamphlets throughout Germany. What Flanagan found striking was the fact that the group was organized and led by young people, almost exclusively. The second point of interest was the extraordinary amount of courage demonstrated by these young people, in the face of a monstrous tyranny, operating an efficient intelligence service. Their commitment deserves to be remembered, hence this book.
