Product Description
"A powerful story of seldom-sung heroines in humanity's darkest days and a vivid reminder of the power of conscience." -- Edgardo David Holzman, author of Malena\nThroughout the occupied territories, Catholic Sisters were active members of The Nazi Resistance.\nBased on letters and documents written by Catholic Sisters during the Nazi occupation of Belgium, this book tells the remarkable story of these brave and faithful women, and how they served to resist the German forces.\nFrom running contraband to hiding Jews, from spying for the allies to small acts of sabotage, these courageous women risked their lives to help defeat the Reich.\nThis is a story that needs to be told.
Review
"I can think of no non-Belgian better qualified than Professor Dennis Turner to write a book telling a story happening in my country...
History is like a mosaic, and Dennis Turner's work is both a beautiful and an important stone of that mosaic." --
Ambassador Jean-Michel Veranneman de Watervliet,
author of Belgium in the Second World War.\n"A powerful story of seldom-sung heroines in humanity's darkest days and a vivid reminder of the power of conscience. Using first-hand accounts, Turner crafts an inspiring narrative of courage and sacrifice in the face of terror." -- Edgardo David Holzman, author of
Malena. \n"I know from first-hand experience that Dennis Turner is a meticulous and thoughtful law professor. I called on him several times for advice when I served as the Provost of the University of Dayton. I am delighted that he has decided to write this story inspired by sisters of Notre Dame who, with holy delight, foiled the Nazis. It is a generous recounting of the deeds of marvelous nuns living in the midst of mortal danger. It is also a great read!" -- Father James Heft SM
