Description
The Bravest Voices: A Memoir of Two Sisters' Heroism During the Nazi Era In 1923, a chance encounter with an aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion for opera in two ordinary Englishwomen, Ida and Louise Cook. Their lives took an extraordinary turn as they formed friendships with Europe's leading singers and their network, many of whom were Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, the sisters began working with the opera world's insiders to save members of the community from persecution and death. Through ingenuity, thrift, and boundless goodwill, Ida and Louise eluded suspicion and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. Their bravery and selflessness are a testament to the extraordinary acts of courage by two everyday heroes. First published in 1950, Ida's memoir remains a fresh and vital account of their adventures, written by the woman who lived it.
