When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands in World War II, these girls took up arms against the enemy by seducing high-ranking Nazi officers, luring them into the woods and killing them. They provided Jewish children with safe houses and gathered vital intelligence for the resistance. They did what they did "because it had to be done." Above all, they tried to remain human in inhuman circumstances. Hannie Schaft was executed by the Nazis three weeks before the end of the war and became the icon of female Dutch resistance. Truus and Freddie Oversteegen survived the war, but were forever haunted by the demons of their past"--Back cover. 541 $d 20220120. 600 1 $a Schaft, Hannie, $d 1920-1945. 600 14 $a Menger, Truus. 600 14 $a Oversteegen, Freddie. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $z Netherlands. 650 $a World war, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Netherlands. 651 $a Netherlands $x History $y German occupation, 1940-1945. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055738.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1ACCE7A0F0311ED8D9C4FC431ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
