Summary In January, 1943, 230 women of the French Resistance were sent to the death camps by the Nazis who had invaded and occupied their country. This is their story, told in full for the first time--a searing and unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance, survival, and the power of friendship to transcend evil that is an essential addition to the history of World War II.

SRP 2013 REVIEW: This is a true story of a group of women in the French Resistance who were captured by the Nazis or the Vichy French. They were imprisoned in France, and eventually Nazi Germany. Some survived; some did not. Their story is best summed up by a quote from this book: "to keep alive, to remain me."
