Perilous Journey to Freedom: A Daring Escape Across the Alps (Escaping the Reich)
Two women and a smuggler on the most dangerous journey of their lives.
When Jewish woman Astrid receives a summons from the Gestapo, she knows one thing: if she follows the order, she will die. Her only chance of survival is to flee, yet the path to freedom leads across the snow-covered Alps. In the remote Montafon valley, she meets Bärbel, a courageous woman also on the run. Together, they embark on the perilous escape.
Their last hope is Felix, a taciturn smuggler who knows every hidden trail in the mountains. He’s done this route many times before, but this time, everything is different.
A sudden shift in the weather turns the mountains into a deadly trap. The Gestapo is closing in. Avalanches threaten. As fear and suspicion grow, trust becomes as fragile as the snow beneath their feet.
A race begins against time, the forces of nature, and their own fear.
Will they reach freedom after all? Or is the price too high to pay?
