But in 1923, a chance hearing of an aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion for opera in the sisters that led to the formation of friendships with some of Europeâs leading singers and their network, many of them Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, Ida and Louise began working with the opera worldâs insiders to save members of the community from persecution and death. Through ingenuity, thrift and bottomless goodwill, the sisters eluded the suspicion of the Nazis and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. No one would have predicted such daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook, but that underestimation is exactly how they were able to save lives. 600 10 $a Cook, Ida. 600 10 $a Cook, Louise, $d 1901-1991. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue. $x Rescue. 650 0 $a Righteous Gentiles in the Holocaust $z England. 650 0 $a Singers $v Anecdotes. 651 0 $a England. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Autobiographies. 700 1 $a Wilds, Heather, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210609010512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18930448C8E811EB9BB532342BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
