Description

This play is a fictional dramatization set in Germany during World War II. It is based on the true story of Sophie Scholl and the resistance group known as The White Rose. In 1943, a group of university students in Germany were appalled at the truth which was coming to light about the Nazi Party. They started a resistance group aimed at bringing down Hitler and the Nazi regime. Their story is one of breathtaking courage, selflessness and utter faith in what is right. The efforts of The White Rose, referred to once as quite possibly the single most heroic feat in European history, are an inspiring tribute to the goodness of humanity shining even in the darkest moments of history.
