Sinopse

An utterly amazing true first-person account of one girl?s experience in wartime. Irene Gut Opdyke was a Catholic Polish nursing student when WWII broke out. She soon became mired in the horrors of central Europe as at various times a partisan a refugee a housekeeper to the Nazis and over all as a heroine. She singlehandedly saved the lives of at least 16 Jewish people from the Holocaust. Now living in America and aged 77 Irene with the help of a respected historical novelist has told her story with all the power and passion that such a remarkable history can inspire.
