Wake up the White Rose

Introduction

This book is in honor of a group of university students who lived in Munich during WWII. They wrote pamphlets and papers denouncing Nazism and the continuation of the war and the premise that all citizens should rise up for their rights and freedoms against this nightmare.

They were caught, tried, and then hung for their beliefs but their courage, fortitude, and dedication lives on in all those who struggle against tyranny, despotism, and militaristic violence.

Content and Purpose

This book consists of poetry that tries to wake up that passion and courage here in America where we now find ourselves on the brink of watching a democracy turn into a fascist police state.

Call to Action

Our founding Fathers were rebels, radicals, and dissenters who knew that to change wrong you must wake up, rise up, and fight to instill change. Let us honor those who rose up before us and fight for what we know is right.
