Description
As the Second World War rages across Europe and the Nazi regime tightens its reign of horror and oppression, nine women, some still in their teens, join the French and Dutch Resistance. Caught carrying out heroic acts against the brutal occupiers, they are tortured and sent east into Greater Germany to a concentration camp, where they form a powerful friendship. In 1945, as the war turns against Hitler, they are forced onto a death march, facing starvation and almost certain death. Determined to survive, they make a bid for freedom, beginning one of the most breathtaking tales of escape and resilience of the Second World War. The author, the great-niece of one of the nine women, interweaves their gripping flight across war-torn Europe with her own detective work, uncovering the heart-stopping escape and survival of these heroes, who fight fearlessly against Nazi Germany and live to tell the tale.
