He is determined to crush the Dutch Resistance and rid The Hague of every last Jew. While his leaders amass tremendous fortunes in looted treasure, and prepare for their escape from Europe, captain Wuerff remains focused on his deadly mission. Resistance hero Kees van Rijn is resolved to undermine Wuerff's plans. With his friends in the Resistance, he fights to keep hidden Jewish families alive and safe from the camps. During the war, over ten thousand Jews were hidden throughout the Netherlands, thus avoiding the Fuehrer's "Final Solution." While they suffered great hardships, they were at least alive. Kees stays on the run, moving families from one hiding place to another, often right under the noses of the Nazis. But Captain Wuerff has a plan to snare Kees and his comrades, and to round up the Jews in one fell swoop. If he can lure Kees' beautiful wife Johanna, and his by, Cornelius, into the trap, so much the better. In the last days of the war, Captain Wuerff plans to earn distinction by filling one last train with Jews for the concentration camps, and he intends for the van Rijn family to join them on this deadly final trip. -- $c Dust jacket flap. 600 10 $a Van Leenan, Dirk. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Personal narratives, Dutch. 700 1 $a Wincek, John, $e editor. 941 $a 4 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041740.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014956.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20200310034234.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20190122012853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B27B116CEAF11E898C63D7397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
