The summer of 2008 I read many stories about courage from the World War II era. When you read about courage over and over and over, it does something to you. I always wanted to be a hero, but I never wanted to suffer for it. Here is one truth I know: all heroes have to suffer.

One quote from the book:
“when your life is in jeopardy you discover in yourself qualities that you never suspected you had. Until you were put to the test, you never know.” Leah—Polish Resistance Fighter

This book was great because it told the stories and accounts of fighters in World War II that are often overlooked in history. It is easy to perceive the victims of the holocaust as though they didn't fight back and just let it happen to them, but this is far from the case. Anflick went one step further and talked about the teen fighters of the resistance and offered a very fresh perspective.

Excellent, informative book. Has narratives.

This book had a lot of pictures that were actually from WWII. But this book was also very sad, it was tough to read and look at the pictures. I would not recommend this book for younger children.
