An Historical ThrillerBy Nancy A.This is a true story of courage and fortitude expressed on a daily basis in the plans and actions of a woman and her companions and friends as they carried out secret; dangerous missions in their Dutch Resistance organization during the Nazi occupation of Holland.I was inspired by their resilience and determination in the face of continual threats of torture and death by the Nazis. It is like an historical thriller.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. pretty crazy frighteningBy Bren BrenIt is intriguing to read about The Resistance and how some people with courage aided Jews despite the possible outcome. It's incredulous what happened with the main character and others in the book....pretty crazy frightening!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy Linda BearThis book gives a different view of the times. A Dutch family puts themselves in danger in hiding Jewish people from the Nazis. Well written and very interesting. I would have preferred foot notes inserted where applicable; rather than at the end of the book. Reading on an e-book makes it difficult to go back and forth.
