ABOUT THE BOOK

Holy Idealist

Willi Graf, Hero of the White Rose

Distributing pamphlets calling for nonviolent sabotage of Hitler’s war efforts. Painting words condemning Hitler on city walls. Traveling throughout wartime Germany while in his Army medic uniform, not on official duty, but rather seeking new members to join the resistance. All risky actions. All death-penalty offenses. All efforts made by Willi Graf, who, along with a few other university students, formed the White Rose resistance group. Graf and his friends were motivated by a single reason: their love of the Lord. They recognized Jesus as the light of the world, and they clearly saw that Hitler was the embodiment of darkness.

Holy Idealist tells the true story of Willi Graf, and the actions he and his friends took to bring down Adolf Hitler’s murderous regime.
