Resumen del Editor

The remarkable story of a group of brave Catholic sisters who resisted the Nazi regime.

Based on letters and documents - not seen for 70 years - written by the Catholic Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur during the Nazi occupation of Belgium, this audiobook tells the remarkable story of these brave and faithful women and how they served to resist the German forces.

In great detail, these letters document the lives of the sisters and convents under the Nazi regime, detailing the hardships of bombings, hunger and the executions of innocents.

But they also tell the story of how these brave and faithful women worked to defeat the Nazis.

Throughout the occupied territories, the Sisters were active members of the Resistance. From running contraband to hiding resisters and Jews, from spying for the allies to small acts of sabotage, these courageous women risked their lives to save others and to end the war.

This is a story that needs to be told.

Meh book, author Ruined his own book

the book was an okay read. I finished the entire book but I was disappointed that the author made up a character in an otherwise interesting account of nuns participating in world war II. If the author had simply wrote about what happened and the people that were there instead of making up a main character that he thought would make the reader interested feels like a lie and of a trail of the people who actually worked against the Germans. I am definitely interested in learning more about the historically accurate events, but would rather not ever read this book again as I felt it was a waste of my time.
