Book Reviews of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
Book Review: A time almost impossible to comprehend
Summary: 5 Stars
In all my born days (and there are plenty!) I have read many many books. But never have I ever read anything like SOPHIE SCHOLL AND THE WHITE ROSE by Jud Newborn and Annette Dumbach. I picked it up this morning and haven't been able to put it down. It is a beautifully written book; I don't know how to say how beautifully written I find it. It ought to be translated into every language. These events were going on in my beloved city of Munich a mere 11 years before I arrived. Simply presented, without pathos or bathos, without adjectives--just simple story-telling about a time that is almost impossible to comprehend--in straightforward language while painting the most grotesque picture imaginable. (I noticed that Richard von Wiezsäker, the revered former president of Germany, wrote a beautiful introduction to the German edition.) When I got to chapters 18 and 19, it was almost impossible to finish despite the fact that I already knew the ending. I have shed a few tears in my lifetime over a few books, but never had the catharsis of such a deep emotional reaction to any story I have ever read. The tears that came with chapter 19. All I can say is "amazing" and thank you. Nancy Keil
