The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, intransit, and at RavensbruÌck. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative from Gwen Strauss is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Podliasky, HeÌleÌne, $d 1920-2012. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, German. 650 0 $a Women political prisoners $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women Nazi concentration camp inmates $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Prisoner-of-war escapes $z Germany. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Germany $v Biography. 650 0 $a Guerrillas $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Guerrillas $z Netherlands $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z France. 610 20 $a RavensbruÌck (Concentration camp) 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030212.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220118010146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FB99154782C11ECBB00C02F2DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
