Summary:
Un apasionante relato sobre el valor de dos mujeres jud̕as que se enfrentaron a los nazis para dar hogar y esperanza a decenas de v̕ctimas. En una fr̕a noche de febrero de 1943, la familia Brilleslijper llega a una villa escondida en las profundidades del bosque holanďs: el Nido Alto. Al abrigo de sus muros, las j̤venes hermanas Janny y Lien organizan la operaci̤n m̀s arriesgada de la resistencia contra los nazis: crear un escondite para salvar a decenas de jud̕os, justo ante las narices de los l̕deres de la ocupaci̤n que viven a unos metros del refugio. Poco m̀s de un ąo despǔs, la seguridad del escondite se ve comprometida. Janny y Lien son arrestadas y llevadas al campo de Westerbork, donde encuentran una compą̕a muy singular: Ana Frank y su hermana Margot. Con ellas enfrentar̀n las atrocidades del nazismo y, finalmente, ser̀n trasladadas a Auschwitz. Janny y Lien se convierten en el basti̤n emocional de las hermanas Frank, a quienes cuidan durante sus ͠ltimos d̕as de vida como a su propia familia.
During the Second World War two Jewish sisters -- Janny and Lien Brilleslijper -- run one of the largest hideaways in The Netherlands: The High Nest, a villa in The Gooi area. While the last remaining Jews are being hunted in The Netherlands, the lives of dozens of hideaways kept going for better or for worse, right under the noses of their National Socialist neighbours. Eventually, the nest is exposed and the Brilleslijper family put on one of the last transports to Auschwitz, along with the (Anne) Frank family. Roxane's novelistic eye combined with her rigorous research result in a hugely compelling portrayal of courage, treason and human resilience.
