Saving Children of the Holocaust: True Stories of Remarkable Women Risking Lives to Save Thousands (Female Heroes of WWII)

Uncover the Remarkable Stories of Courageous Women Who Risked Everything to Save Children from the Horrors of World War II

While the atrocities of the Holocaust are widely documented, the tales of countless brave men and women who stepped forward to rescue innocent children remain largely untold, even today. Saving the Children of the Holocaust sheds light on the extraordinary lives of eight remarkable women who selflessly gave thousands of children caught in the devastation of World War II a chance to live.

These women were not driven by fame or glory; they acted because it was the right thing to do. Helen Constantine's captivating narrative explores the courageous acts of:

Irena Sendler, who smuggled children to safety from the Warsaw ghetto. Diana Budisavljević, who abandoned her privileged life in Austrian high society to aid endangered Serbian children. Truus Wijsmuller, a key figure in the Kindertransport movement who arranged the safe passage of thousands of children from Nazi-occupied territories before and during the war. Mary Elmes, a nurse who hid children in the trunk of her car and drove them to safety from French concentration camps. Anna Essinger, a German headmistress who outsmarted the Nazis and relocated her school to Britain, ensuring her students' safety and continued education. Andrée Geulen, a young non-Jew who worked with the Belgian Resistance, persuading families to part with their children and escorting them to safety. Hetty Voûte and Gisela Soehnlein, university students who risked their lives in Holland, rescuing children and guiding them to refuge.

Find hope and inspiration in the stories of these unsung heroes, and be reminded of the power of kindness and courage in the face of adversity. By sharing their remarkable stories, we can celebrate their achievements, weep at the devastation they witnessed, marvel at their bravery, and ultimately smile at the thought of the children they saved.
