Things We Couldn't Say: A Dramatic Account of Christian Resistance in Holland During World War II [B0682]

2008 PB in nice clean condition. The true story of Diet Eman, a young Dutch woman who, with her fiance, Hein Sietsma, risked everything to rescue Jews imperiled by Nazi persecution in occupied Holland during World War II. Throughout the years that Diet and Hein aided the Resistance - work that would cost Diet her freedom and Hein his life - their courageous effort ultimately saved the lives of hundreds of Dutch Jews. Diet Eman's Things We Couldn't Say is an unforgettable story of heroism, faith, and - above all - love. It is also one of the great Christian stories of the twentieth century - the story of two people whose faith compelled them to stand up to the most sinister evil their generation has ever witnessed.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This is one of the best books I have ever read. This woman's faith and determination are beyond inspiring. And for a biography it really reads like a novel, perfectly put together and organized in a way that you don't get lost."; "The author of this memoir is the embodiment of what a true hero is. I was so humbled through the experience of reading her story and all the hardships she endured not only as a citizen of a Nazi-occupied country but also as a member of the Dutch resistance movement. This is what real sacrifice looks like, this is true patriotism and bravery. An amazing true story from an incredibly courageous woman."; "Gripping and moving. Describes the lives of extraordinarily brave people during a horrific time in Netherlands' history. It's also a love story, beautifully and movingly told. An inspiring read. Highly recommended."
