Summary

In Nazi Germany, resistance was not just forbidden, it was deadly. But in 1942, a group of young college students went from enthusiastic supporters of the Third Reich to some of its most vocal opponents, publishing thousands of leaflets calling Hitler a criminal, and attempting to start a student revolt. Though their dream of a revolution never became reality, their courageous stance in the face of evil has become legendary in Germany, and their story continues to inspire and influence generations of young people around the world. Olivia interviews author Kip Wilson, whose wonderful new YA novel-in-verse White Rose tells the story through the eyes of 21-year-old Sophie Scholl. A full transcript of this episode is available here. Guest Kip Wilson is the author of White Rose and The Most Dazzling Girl in Berlin, the Poetry Editor of the Young Adult Review Network, and has a Ph.D. in German Literature. In 2017, she won the PEN/New England Susan P. Bloom Discovery Award, and her work has appeared in several children’s literary magazines. Music featured in this episode provided by the Weber State University Chamber Choir, Jeff Cuno, Mary Lou Williams and Amanda Setlik Wilson. Want to help us “make history”?
