When she returns home shortly after, she joins the White Rose. In 1942, she volunteers as a nurse with the Red Cross on the Russian front and witnesses the horrors and atrocities that are happening. In 1938, at the age of sixteen, she notices that her Jewish friends and neighbours are disappearing from her Munich Neighbourhood. They were mailed from different cities to different cities to “allay suspicion from the home city of Munich and to make the group seem much larger than it was.” This story features a fictional character, Natalya Pertovich, a young woman for Russian decent. The group mailed leaflets to random people picked from the phone book, appealing to them to fight against what was happening. White Rose was a peaceful resistance group in Germany led by a group of students including siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl at the University of Munich. I had never heard of the White Rose Resistance Group, so was quite interested in reading this book. Published March 1st 2020 by Kensington Books
