Description
The Nine: A Breathtaking Tale of Escape and Resilience In the midst of World War II, nine young women, some still in their teens, joined the French and Dutch Resistance, risking everything to fight against the Nazi regime. Captured and tortured, they were sent to a concentration camp, where they formed a powerful bond with one another. As the war turned against Hitler, they were forced on a perilous Death March, facing starvation and almost certain death. Determined to survive, they made a bid for freedom, embarking on a heart-stopping journey across war-torn Europe. The author, the great-niece of one of the nine, recounts their gripping story, weaving together her own detective work to uncover the truth behind this incredible tale of escape and survival. With 317 pages, this book is a testament to the bravery and resilience of these nine women, who fought fearlessly against Nazi Germany and lived to tell the tale.
