This book gave me much food for thought. I treasure books which impact the head and the heart. By the end I felt that two of my friends had just been executed.

Although Hans and Sophie Scholl joined the Hitler Youth, both emerged from their adolescence years with a conviction that they must make their voices heard against Hitler's regime.
The Scholls and a few friends spoke out when others didn't. The diaries reveal Hans and Sophie's political beliefs, and a conviction that developed from their intense spiritual searching, helping them to do what their beliefs were, no matter what the cost.
The Scholls' personal writings show their faith and their protest, along with their spontaneous feelings of joy and gratitude for the gifts of nature, music and art.

Heartbreaking, humbling, intense, haunting,and full of the human spirit and faith in a very dark time in history.
I find this is one of those books that will stay with you for a lifetime.
The intense personal struggles of Hans and Sophie shows that not all Germans were on board with the political situation they were living in during the war.
That there was good people who knew what was happening and did not support it and tried to open others eyes to it and paid with their very young lives.
A must read book.
