Sobre este título
This young readers’ edition
tells the remarkable story, largely forgotten until now, of the young Jewish
women who became resistance fighters against the Nazis during World War II. It
has already been optioned by Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture.
As their communities were being
destroyed, groups of Jewish women and teenage girls across Poland began
transforming Jewish youth groups into resistance factions. These “ghetto girls”
helped build systems of underground bunkers, paid off the Gestapo, and bombed
German train lines.
At the center of the book is
eighteen-year-old Renia Kukielka, who traveled across her war-torn country as a
weapons smuggler and messenger. Other women who joined the cause served as
armed fighters, spies, and saboteurs, all risking their lives for their
missions.
Never
before chronicled in full, this is the incredible account of the strong Jewish
women who fought back against the seemingly unstoppable Nazi regime. It follows
the women through arrests, internment, and for a lucky few, into the late 20th
century and beyond.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
