Reviewed by AnsoDie Nacherzählungen der Entstehung und Aktionen der Weißen Rose durch Inge Scholl kamen mir z.T. etwas verklärt vor. Die zweite Hälfte des Buches - gefüllt mit den Flugblättern, Anklageschriften, Urteilen, Augenzeugenberichten und (Presse) Reaktionen/Stimmen - hat mir hingegen sehr gut gefallen, da sie ein etwas differenzierteres Licht, insb. auf Hans Scholl, werfen.
