A train in winter : an extraordinary story of women, friendship, and resistance in occupied France / Caroline Moorehead.

Publication | Library Call Number: D802.F8 M667 2011

In January 1943, the Gestapo hunted down 230 women of the French Resistance and sent them to Auschwitz. This is their story, told in full for the first time--a searing and unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance, survival, and the power of friendship to transcend evil that is an essential addition to the history of World War II.
