520 "The Nine follows the true story of the author's great
aunt Helene Podliasky, who led a band of nine female
resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor
camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of
WWII from Germany back to Paris. The nine women were all
under thirty when they joined the resistance. They
smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents,
coordinated communications between regional sectors,
trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in
scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police,
interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were
subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to
Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at
different points, in prison, in transit, and at
Ravensbruck. By the time they were enslaved at the labor
camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends.
During the final days of the war, forced onto a death
march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring
escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful,
heart-stopping narrative is a moving tribute to the power
of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times"--
