Lorem ipsum dolor sit
Non-fictionMembers of the Jewish resistance fought back in numerous ways: ghetto uprisings, escape attempts from camps, hiding Jews, continuing to observe the Jewish faith. Their stories are finally told.
Projekt 1065 may change the course of the war.
A 13-year-old Irish spy in the Hitler Youth? It sounds too far-fetched to be true, but this story is inspired by real historical events. Michael O’Shaunessey, the son of Irish ambassadors to Berlin, discovers that his parents are spies for the Allies. When Michael rescues and hides a Jewish British pilot, he sets in motion unstoppable events that will change his life forever. To uncover the secrets of Projekt 1065, Michael must demonstrate unwavering loyalty to the Nazis, risking everything.
“It is said that when God closes a door . . . He opens a window.”
A young Jewish girl hiding with her siblings discovers a window that opens to a world far away from the horrors of the Holocaust. The Golem, a creature from Jewish folklore, comes to Auschwitz. The Resistance in Poland is aided by Baba Yaga. A modern-day Moses creates an exodus for Jews in Denmark. Each story weaves real-life tales of hope and courage with a hint of fantasy.
