White Rose by Kip Wilson
5.0

Wow okay so this was my first book written in verse.

I was lucky enough to go to Berlin for school in 2012 where I got to visit the Sophie and Hans memorial. It's small but just important so I'd suggest going if you get the opportunity.

It's disappointing how few people know about what Sophie and the White Rose resistance did. It's disappointing that their deaths weren't a catalyst for change. It's disappointing our world is circling back to Nazi's being a thing because apparently, we learnt fuck all from World War II.

I think wondering "how the hell did people let things get like that" is always something we'll wonder about genocides especially which is why this book is important. Just because you aren't the target, doesn't mean it's not your problem. We forget that so often as humans until that evil or government suddenly sets its eyes on us.

Basically:
-fuck Nazis
-fuck bigots
-fuck the state of Georgia
-use your fucking voice and privilege to make a better world
-vote
