Description
The Old Gilt Clock by Paulette Mahurin is a story of courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable evil. During one of the darkest periods in human history, a group of Dutch resistance workers risked everything to defy the Nazi occupation and save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. At its heart is the true story of Willem Arondéus, a brave individual who defied his homophobic father and fought against the Nazis' plans to identify and deport Jewish people. This book is also a testament to the power of friendship and community in the face of oppression, as well as the human spirit's capacity for love, compassion, and resilience. Thousands of lives were saved thanks to the bravery of men and women like Willem Arondéus, who stood up against tyranny and oppression when millions stood silent. This book tells their story, a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the darkest of times.
