Angels of Amsterdam

<p><b>'A rare story that reframes the Holocaust narrative from victimhood to heroism' MITCH ALBOM</b><br><br>Just two miles from where Anne Frank hid during the war, Henriette Pimentel, a Jewish nursery director, plotted one of the most daring and far-reaching rescues of the war. Recruiting young women from her nursery and working in tandem with other Resistance members, Henriette successfully hid and smuggled six hundred children out of Amsterdam - right under the noses of their Nazi captors.<br><br><i>Angels of Amsterdam </i>draws on recent interviews with the survivors and former teenage resistance workers. Over the past four years, authors Esther Shaya and Susan B. Katz travelled extensively to gather first-hand accounts from these heroes and the children they rescued, now in their 80s and 90s. Coupled with archival images, this remarkable, real-life World War II narrative is a story for the ages.</p>
