The Girl from the Channel Islands
(eBook)
An extraordinary story of triumph against impossible odds. The year is 1940, and the world is torn apart by war. In June of that year, Hitler's army captures the Channel Islands-the only part of Great Britain occupied by German forces. Abandoned by Mr. Churchill, forgotten by the Allies and cut off from all help, the Islands' situation is increasingly desperate. Hedy Bercu is a young Jewish girl who fled Vienna for the island of Jersey two years earlier during the Anschluss, only to find herself trapped by the Nazis once more-this time with no escape. Her only hope is to make herself invaluable to the Germans by working as a translator, hiding in plain sight with the help of her friends and community-and a sympathetic German officer. But as the war intensifies, rations dwindle and neighbors are increasingly suspicious of one another. Hedy's life is in greater danger every day. It will take a definitive, daring act to save her from certain deportation to the concentration camps. A sweeping tale of bravery and love under impossible circumstances, Hedy's remarkable story reminds us that it's often up to ordinary people to be quiet heroes in the face of injustice.
