Description
The Bravest Voices: The Extraordinary Heroism of Sisters Ida and Louise Cook During the Nazi Era The story of Ida and Louise Cook is one of remarkable bravery and selflessness. Despite living quiet lives in the London suburbs, the sisters risked everything to rescue dozens of Jews facing persecution and death during the 1930s. Their memoir, written by Ida, is a testament to the power of ordinary women achieving extraordinary things in the face of desperate circumstances. As their lives became increasingly glamorous, Ida's success as a romance novelist brought in a steady income, but the sisters continued to use their resources and courage to save as many people as they could from the Holocaust. This book is a fresh and vital account of their adventures, written by the woman who lived them. Ida's memoir is a gripping and moving story of two women who refused to be ordinary in the face of extraordinary danger.
