A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Original and compelling, an untold
story of rare and captivating power' Philippe Sands 'A fascinating
history about a little-known group who took on the Nazis . . . The
individual tales of these courageous young women are remarkable'
Independent 'Rescues a long-neglected aspect of history from
oblivion, and puts paid to the idea of Jewish, and especially
female, passivity during the Holocaust. It is uncompromising,
written with passion - and it preserves truly significant
knowledge. ... Judy Batalion has uncovered a trove of unknown or
forgotten information about the Holocaust of genuine import and
impact.' Eva Hoffman, TLS One of the most important untold stories
of World War II, The Light of Days is a soaring landmark history
that brings to light the extraordinary accomplishments of brave
Jewish women who inspired Poland's Jewish youth groups to resist
the Nazis. Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and the
violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women
in Poland - some still in their teens - became the heart of a
wide-ranging resistance network that fought the Nazis. With
courage, guile and nerves of steel, these 'ghetto girls' smuggled
guns in loaves of bread and coded intelligence messages in their
plaited hair. They helped build life-saving systems of underground
bunkers and sustained thousands of Jews in safe hiding places. They
bribed Gestapo guards with liquor, assassinated Nazis and sabotaged
German supply lines. The Light of Days at last reveals the real
history of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known
feats have been eclipsed by time.
