Freiheit!: The White Rose Graphic Novel by Andrea Grosso Ciponte

3.0

---

Beautifully rendered graphic novel about The White Rose, but I would have loved more information than was given. As is, the story doesn't provide any new insight into the lives of the members, nor does it present what it does offer in an organized fashion. There were some places where I lost the thread of the plot due to large chunks of time being skipped with no reference or update for the reader as to what had happened during the missing months. I did love the way the text of the leaflets was interspersed throughout, however; it added an emotional core to the story that carried me along even when I lost my way. In concert with the illustrations, they saved the book for me.
