Klappentext
'A rare story that reframes the Holocaust narrative from victimhood to heroism' MITCH ALBOM
Just two miles from where Anne Frank hid during WWII, Henriëtte Pimentel, a Jewish nursery director, plotted one of the most daring and far-reaching rescues of the war. Recruiting young women from her nursery and working in tandem with other Resistance members, Henriëtte successfully hid and smuggled six hundred children out of Amsterdam - right under the noses of their Nazi captors.
Angels of Amsterdamdraws on recent interviews with the survivors and former teenage resistance workers. Over the past four years, authors Esther Shaya and Susan B. Katz travelled extensively to gather first-hand accounts from these heroes and the children they rescued, now in their 80s and 90s. Coupled with archival images, this remarkable, real-life World War II narrative is a story for the ages.
