Behind Enemy Lines by Wendy Holden
5.0
The remarkable story of one brave woman's fight to do the right thing under incredible odds. Marthe Hoffnung tells her story in such a matter-of-fact way that I am in awe of her actions during WWII. She showed a tireless effort to protect her friends, family, and country from the brutalities of Nazi-occupied France, and her story should inspire us all.
There were times when I wish her story had more details, but that seems a silly thing to quibble over in light of Marthe's story. What I will most take away is the feeling of her fearlessness, which she never seemed to see as such. All she wanted was to help, and she went so far above and beyond that I feel her story needs to be broadcast to everyone.
This is a story of Jewish resistance against unspeakable evil, and I hope to be inspired by Marthe's courage with me for the rest of my life.
