A Train in Winter
A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France | Caroline Moorehead
In January 1943, 230 women of the French Resistance were sent to the death camps by the Nazis who had invaded and occupied their country. This is their story, told in full for the first timea searing and unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance, survival, and the power of friendship. Caroline Moorehead, a distinguished biographer, human rights journalist, and the author of Dancing to the Precipice and Human Cargo, brings to life an extraordinary story that readers of Mitchell Zuckoffs Lost in Shangri-La, Erik Larsons In the Garden of Beasts, and Laura Hillenbrands Unbroken will find an essential addition to our retelling of the history of World War IIa riveting, rediscovered story of courageous women who sacrificed everything to combat the march of evil across the world.

The riveting and little-known story of a group of female members of the French resistance who were deported together to Auschwitz, a remarkable number of whom survived.

It may still feel like summer-96 degrees today-but it sounds like fall in my living room. Football is great background noise to read to 😉😂 #donotlikefootball

Evening reading and thinking about my beautiful grandmother whose been gone 9 years too long today. I carried her picture on my bridal bouquet ❤️ also those were my finds at my favorite used booked store yesterday.
