On a golden August morning in 1939, sisters Antonina and Helena
DÄ…browska send their father off to defend Poland against the
looming threat of German invasion. The next day, the first bombs
fall on Warsaw, decimating their beloved city and shattering the
world of their youth. When Antonina's beloved Marek is forced
behind ghetto walls along with the rest of Warsaw's Jewish
population, Antonina turns her worry into action and becomes a key
figure in a daring network of women risking their lives to shelter
Jewish children. Helena finds herself drawn into the ranks of
Poland's secret army, joining the fight to free her homeland from
occupation. But the secrets both are forced to keep threaten to
tear the sisters apart--and the cost of resistance proves greater
than either ever imagined. Shining a light on the oft-forgotten
history of Poland during WWII and inspired by true stories of
ordinary individuals who fought to preserve freedom and humanity in
the darkest of times, The Warsaw Sisters is a richly rendered
portrait of courage, sacrifice, and the resilience of our deepest
ties.
