“Pazner’s closing account of how the Nazis rose to power on a tide of big lies and fearmongering makes it clear that her message is as cautionary as it is inspirational; as she writes in closing, it’s “vital for us all to remember what happens in a society when ordinary people do not speak up.” Amid images of burning books, prisoners behind barbed wire, and marching soldiers in Casson’s somber illustrations, the Scholls and their White Rose associates stand tall, even under the guillotine that ended their lives—if not their legacy.”
