Over two million copies sold! The triumphant true story of one courageous Christian woman who became a militant heroine of the anti-Nazi underground.
“I pray that God forgive them...”

Both woman had been sent to the camp for helping the Jews. Christ’s Spirit and words were their guide; it was His persecuted people they tried to save—at the risk of their own lives; it was His strength that sustained them through times of profound horror.
Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ’s message and the courage woman who listened and lived to pass it along—with joy and triumph!

I read this for a literature class. It was a very good book! I had been wanting to read this autobiography because I had previously read the biography. I feel like the book wanted to be exciting but it wasn’t really. And I know it wasn’t supposed to be exciting. It was supposed to pull at your heartstrings because of the struggles they went through. But overall, it was a very good book! Wouldn’t recommend reading more than one chapter at a time though. For me, one night I read two chapters and then regretted it because the second one seemed boring. But still, it was a very good book!
