Publisher Description:

What bright secrets transpired during the world’s darkest hours?
Light shone in an era marked by tyranny and mass destruction.

Kindness resurfaced when the lines between friends and foes were blurred.

Hope prevailed when staying hidden and quiet was a civilian’s best chance of survival.

Behold, the Second World War—a ruthless period of oppression and torment that Jews and other minorities were forced to endure. To this day, this event represents one of humanity’s greatest tragedies.

Yet in the thick of cruelty, suffering, and loss, ordinary women secretly stood against the Nazi regime, selflessly serving as bearers of peace and hope. They risked their lives to protect the persecuted without seeking reward or recognition.

Today, we honor these women for their courage, kindness, wit, and resourcefulness during the war.
Here lie their unsung legacies.
