pired during the world's darkest hours?

Light shone in an era marked by tyranny and mass destruction.

Kindness resurfaced when the lines between friends and foes were blurred.

Hope prevailed when staying hidden and quiet was a civilian's best chance of survival.

Behold, the Second World War-a ruthless period of oppression and torment that Jews and other minorities were forced to endure.

To this day, this event represents one of humanity's greatest tragedies.

Yet in the thick of cruelty, suffering, and loss, ordinary women secretly stood against the Nazi regime, selflessly serving as bearers of peace and hope. They risked their lives to protect the persecuted without seeking reward or recognition.

Today, we honor these women for their courage, kindness, wit, and resourcefulness during the war.

Here lie their unsung legacies.

Women Rescuers of WWII presents the true stories of brave female heroes during the world's most perilous crisis. Marvel at the phenomenal untold rescue missions of

  • Ida and Louise Cook, the Secretive Sisters, whose risky airline flights almost cost them everything.
  • Ebba Lund, the Red Riding Hood of the Danish Resistance, and the seafaring voyages she arranged for refugees fleeing to Swedish shores.
  • Irena Sendler, the Good Catholic Smuggler, and her daring plot to liberate Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto.
  • Marie Schmolka and Doreen Warriner, the Masterminds of the Move, whose Kindertransport scheme freed thousands of children.
  • Andrée de Jongh, the Postmistress, who smuggled her "parcels"-fallen Allied airmen-from France to neutral Spain.

other extraordinary women who risked it all to stand up for their beliefs!

It takes good, strong women to change the course of the greatest battle in history.

Now ask yourself, what truly makes a hero?
