The heroes of this story didn't protect their own lives or the lives of their loved ones, they protected Jews, in particular helpless Jewish children, at the risk of their own lives.

Part I of the Dutch resistance movement in WWII was archived in the best-selling book The Hiding Place [Bantam Books 1974].  That text tells the story of Cory ten Boom who hid Jews form the Nazi's in her home in The Netherlands during the war. 

Part II of that story is a young Dutch student's recall of the events centered around Corrie ten Boom's home, the account of student journalist Hans Poley, one of ten Boom's volunteer army of teenagers, as told in the book Return To The Hiding Place [Chariot Family Publishers 1993]. 

That book has been turned into a suspenseful movie loaded with intrigue, treachery, miraculous escapes and daring rescues of helpless Jewish children that is now being released on DVD.
