We Will Not Be Silent

6/12/2016

 
Picture
 You know how sometimes you can be given a book and someone says "read this" and you do and you are surprised by what you learn?

Well.. let me introduce to you "We Will Not be Be Silent" written by Russell Freedman.

I was stunned.
Carefully crafted with eye witness testimony.
Filled with black and white historical photographs.

I had never heard of the White Rose Society before.   Learning what the Hitler youth groups were all about, seeing the growing disillusionment, until one day they reach this zenith>>>>>>  "what in the world are we waiting for?   Until one day the war is over and all nations point to us and say that we accepted this government without resisting?"
Picture
I have to admit, before I read this book, that is EXACTLY what I thought.   Of the German people, so conditioned to obey governmental authorities, that when Hitler said "do this", like a herd of cows they simply set to (except for those who helped the Jewish people escape).   I didn't for a moment really think of anyone in Germany fighting back against Hitler and his rule (and agenda).
Picture
I can't say it was an easy book to read, but it was a good book to read.
To read of these young people actively fighting a regime that would kill them if it could (and eventually did).  BUT their actions made waves.  Hearts and minds were challenged to consider what Hitler's actions were doing to the German people.  Their love for their country and their fellow man... it mattered and it showed forth in their bravery and determination to do what was right.

"Today, the members of the White Rose are counted among the legendary heroes of World War II."  (p.82)

This book will be going back onto my shelf to use with my lad when we study World War II.   It was a fascinating book that gave me a different perspective on the German people of that era.
Picture
We will not be silent was written by Russell Freedman and is published by Clarion books, 102 pages, softcover books. This is the story of "The White Rose Student Resistance Movement that Defied Adolf Hitler"  I received the advanced readers copy.  You can find out more about the White Rose Society here.   Raincoast Books generously provided me with a copy to read.

I'd never heard of the White Rose Movement before this! Very interesting. Is this book written primarily to adults or teens/kids? I might like to include it when we study WWII as well.

I enjoyed it as an adult, but I think, based on how it written, that is probably marketed to middle school.

Wow, I never heard of the White Rose Movement. Now I want to know more! This book sounds like one that my oldest son and my husband would love to read. Thank you for telling me about it!

Thank you for sharing this review, Annette. This is definitely a book I'll look for soon - we're doing a read aloud of a book about the Danish resistance in WWII now (it's called Courage and Defiance and is written by Deborah Hopkinson if you want to look it up). This looks like it will be the perfect follow up.

Thank you for this review. I had never heard of this society either, but like you I will be saving this resource for my son to read when he is a little older. I am adding this book to my want to read booklist though.

I never heard of the White Rose Society. Thank you for sharing this. It's scary how this reflects what is happening in other places around the glove (America, even!), and how people accept it. This is a a great wake-up call. I hope to share this group and book with my kids.
