To be a flame!

Without Hans Scholl the White Rose would not have existed. What made the 23-year-old risk his life in the fight against Hitler? Robert Zoske draws a new, fascinating picture of the young resistance fighter using previously unknown documents. The book offers a fresh look on Hans Scholl, who was attracted by the heroism of the Hitler Youth and the poetry of Stefan George alike. He wrote poems and stories and was driven by his strongest passion, the urge for freedo. "Long live freedom", were in fact his last words. This book impressively brings this legacy to life.
