One of the most important untold historical events of World War II, The Light of Days is a gripping story that reveals the remarkable accomplishments of courageous Jewish women who inspired Poland's youth groups to resist the Nazis. Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and the violent destruction of their communities, a group of Jewish women in Poland—some still in their teens—became the heart of a vast resistance network that fought against the Nazis. With courage, intelligence, and composure, these 'ghetto girls' transported weapons in loaves of bread and coded message information in their hair braids. They helped create life-saving underground shelter systems and supported thousands of Jews in safe hideouts. They bribed Gestapo guards with alcohol, assassinated Nazis, and sabotaged German supply lines. The Light of Days finally reveals the true story of these extraordinary women, their brave yet lesser-known achievements that have been overshadowed by time.
