The true story of a young girl's involvement with the Dutch Resistance during World War II and her subsequent arrest and imprisonment by the Germans.

But after two years Hanneke--though just a teenager--was discovered by the Germans and sentenced to life in prison. Now Henneke tells her story in a powerful narrative that vividly describes an era that is so haunting to us still. Photos and maps.
