Auteur: Judy Batalion
ISBN: 9780349011585
Conditie: Als nieuw

Original and compelling, an untold story of rare and captivating power - Philippe SandsThe hidden true story of Jewish women who inspired Poland's Jewish youth groups to resist the Nazis

A soaring landmark history that reveals the extraordinary accomplishments of brave Jewish women who inspired Poland's Jewish youth groups to resist the Nazis.
`Throughout the Second World War groups of Jewish women acted as couriers, smugglers, spies and partisans in the armed resistance to Nazi rule in Poland, but their stories have disappeared from that history... Batalion's book is passionately researched and written with the quick-cutting thrust of an action film -- John Phipps ? Irish Times

`Brings to light half-forgotten tales of astounding courage' - Economist


Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland - some still in their teens - became the heart of a wide-ranging resistance network that fought the Nazis.

With courage, guile and nerves of steel, these 'ghetto girls' smuggled guns in loaves of bread and coded intelligence messages in their plaited hair. They helped build life-saving systems of underground bunkers and sustained thousands of Jews in safe hiding places. They bribed Gestapo guards with liquor, assassinated Nazis and sabotaged German supply lines.


`Powerful . . . The actions of these young women, carefully brought back to life by Batalion, turn much of what we believe we know about the Holocaust on its head ' -- Jenni Frazer, Jewish Chronicle

`Remarkable and inspiring . . . thanks to Judy's meticulous research, these near century old stories of resistance in the face of overwhelming odds are about to be read once again' Daily Express
