Summary:
"'The
Nine
' follows the
true
story
of the author's great aunt Helene Podliasky,
who
led a
band
of
nine
female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from
Germany
back to Paris. The
nine
women
were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to
Germany
. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbruck. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the
nine
chose their moment and made a daring escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times."--From publisher.
