Faces of Courage: Young Heroes of World War II

Faces of Courage: Young Heroes of World War II is an inspiring compilation of twelve stories of courageous teenagers from all across Europe who resisted the Nazis.

There is Kirsten, a Danish girl who helped save a group of Jewish children from the Nazis. Jacob, a young Pole, survived the Holocaust by concealing his Jewish identity and working in a German armament factory. Jacques Lusseyran, a blind French boy, organized a student resistance group called the Volunteers of Liberty. The Edelweiss Pirates were a group of German teenagers who opposed The Hitler Youth and aided homeless runaways from reform schools and labor camps.

All of these young people displayed enormous courage in the face of adversity and risked their lives to stand up for what they believed in.
