Beschreibung

<p>One of the most important untold stories of World War II, <i>The Light of Days</i> is a soaring landmark history that brings to light the extraordinary accomplishments of brave Jewish women who inspired Poland's Jewish youth groups to resist the Nazis.<br><br> 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.<br><br> 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.<br><br> <i>The Light of Days</i> at last reveals the real history of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time.<br><br> <b>[A] powerful book </b>. . . 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 ? <i>Jewish Chronicle</i><br><br> <b>Remarkable and inspiring </b>. . . 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 ? <i>Daily Express</i></p>
