The Story Of Student Resistance During WWII: ‘Freiheit! The White Rose Graphic Novel’ Preview

Freiheit! The White Rose Graphic Novel tells the true story of the underground Student Resistance Movement that emerged in Nazi controlled Germany during World War II. Students who distributed now-infamous pamphlets calling for resistance against the Third Reich before their untimely deaths at the hands of the Gestapo.

“The incredible story of the brave young people behind the White Rose movement is beautifully told in graphic novel form for the very first time by Italian artist Andrea Grosso Ciponte. Ciponte’s dreamily painted art drifts between brutal reality and poignant metaphor while quotes from German writers and thinkers allow the story to toggle seamlessly between the personal and the political, past and present, timely and timeless. The story of these iconic resistance leaders who lived and died almost 80 years ago echoes resoundingly into the present moment, making FREIHEIT!: The White Rose Graphic Novel an urgent and hopeful read for a modern audience.” 

Freiheit! The White Rose Graphic Novel is out February 16th from Plough Publishing House.
