THE NINE The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of Nazi Germany

This well-researched audiobook focuses on nine women resistance fighters who, despite starvation and torture, remained steadfast in their loyalty to each other. Narrator Juliet Stevenson pours her considerable talent into her performance to make the Dutch, French, and German accents of these women sound authentic to her listeners. As the Allies closed in, the Nazis forced Ravensbruck's prisoners on a death march to kill them before they could be liberated. The nine decided they had to escape--or die trying. Stevenson's performance captures their despair, fear, and successes as they made a run for it. Their story has never been told before. Stevenson presents a gripping portrait of courage under fire.
