The Light of Day: Jewish Girls and Their Hidden Front in World War Ii
About This Novel
In the form of a documentary novel, this book tells the story of the secret resistance actions of a group of girls in the Jewish ghettos in Poland during World War II. The author collected and researched a large number of personal memoirs, newspaper reports, photos and other evidence materials to piece together a micro-history of women's participation in the war that has not been discovered by the world. She uses a 15-year-old small-town girl Rennia as a clue character, and through her perspective, she shows readers the social scene in Poland during World War II. Thanks to his natural blond hair and his childhood Polish education, Renja disguised himself as an Aryan and traveled through different cities with the help of forged documents, transporting food, publications, intelligence, and even pistols and ammunition, and wrote a thrilling espionage legend in the occupied land. The book also describes more outstanding female images: intelligence agents who are good at disguise, guerrillas who charge into battle, nurses who save lives... This secret and true story tells the courage, friendship and tenacious spirit of women in war, and is full of inspirational power.
