Three Children in Danger When Courage Alone Stands Between Life and Death

Marion Kummerow

A gripping historical novel about a daring escape from Nazi Germany

The responsibility weighs heavily on the shoulders of twelve-year-old Holger. Ever since their Jewish parents were deported, it has been up to him to hide his younger siblings from the Gestapo.

Countess Sophie finally wants to do more than just talk and joins a resistance network. Her first mission: to take three children to a safe place.

But nowhere in Berlin is safe from danger.

When a bomb hits the hiding place, the members of the network hatch a daring plan to help them escape from the Reich.

The courage of the siblings and their helpers is put to the test as they risk everything to escape the horrors of war.

Will the plan succeed, or will they be discovered before they manage to cross the border into freedom?

Based on the true historical events of the Mission Swedish Furniture.
