Southern France, 1942 In a remote corner of France, Jewish refugee Ella Rosenthal has finally found a safe haven. It has been three years since she and her little sister, Hanni, left their parents to flee Nazi Germany, and they have been pursued and adrift in the chaos of war ever since. Now, they shelter among a hundred other young refugees in a derelict castle overseen by the Swiss Red Cross. Swiss volunteers R�osli N�af and Anne-Marie Piguet uphold a common mission: to protect children in peril. R�osli, a stubborn and resourceful nurse, directs the colony of Ch�ateau de la Hille, and she has created a thriving community against all odds. Anne-Marie, raised by Swiss foresters, becomes both caretaker and friend to the children, and she vows to do whatever is necessary to keep them safe. However, when Germany invades southern France, safeguarding Jewish refugees becomes impossible. Ch�ateau de la Hille faces unrelenting danger, and R�osli and Anne-Marie realize that the only way to protect the eldest of their charges is to smuggle them out of France. Relying on R�osli's fierce will and Anne-Marie's knowledge of secret mountain paths, they plot escape routes through vast Nazi-occupied territory to the distant border. Amid staggering risk, Ella and Hanni embark on a journey that, if successful, could change the course of their lives and grant them a future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 18 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20240424144322.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025128.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025739.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006013459.0 952 $l MOPB553 $d 20230826010314.0 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20230519010416.0 952 $l BSPB851 $d 20230418010438.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20230131010159.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20230113010410.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20230104045335.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20230104014229.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20221228010632.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20221224010517.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20221206011042.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20221130010506.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014341.0 952 $l FEPB194 $d 20221007161317.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221004010419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E659ADA443A911EDB03EF1395EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
