They distributed anti-Nazi leaflets, printed subversive newspapers, hid resisters, secreted Jews to safety, transported weapons, and conveyed clandestine messages. The youngest was a schoolgirl of sixteen, who scrawled \"V\" (for victory) on the walls of her lycee; the eldest, a farmers wife in her sixties who harbored escaped Allied airmen. Strangers to one another, hailing from villages and cities across France--230 brave women united in defiance of their Nazi occupiers--they were eventually hunted down by the Gestapo. Separated from home and loved ones, imprisoned in a fort outside Paris, they found solace and strength in their deep affection and camaraderie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn January 1943, they were sent to their final destination: Auschwitz. Only forty-nine would return to France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews with these women and their families, and on documents in German, French, and Polish archives, A Train in Winter is a remarkable account of the extraordinary courage of ordinary people--a story of bravery, survival, and the enduring power of female friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42827148066896,"sku":"9780061650710B","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780061650710-l.jpg?v=1785909017","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-train-in-winter-9780061650710b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
