The hidden heroes

This book is really cool. Sophie Scholl and the White Rose were so brave, standing up to the Nazis even when it was super dangerous. The stuff they did, like sneaking around with pamphlets, was intense. It’s a crazy story that shows how far people will go for what’s right. Definitely worth a read if you’re into history or brave people doing bold things.

Amazing story of WWII I never knew

I love to learn the history of WWII. There are so many stories untold of heroes who changed the tide of the war. This is one of those stories. Several women put their lives on the line hiding in plain sight and making their mark on the war. Sophie Scholl was an amazing woman who went above and beyond to help the Allies overcome the Axis. I thoroughly enjoyed this story; it was well written and well researched. The book was difficult to turn off and the narrator was pleaant to listen to; I highly recommend it.
