A Train in Winter
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 time—a 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 Zuckoff’s Lost in Shangri-La, Erik Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts, and Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken will find an essential addition to our retelling of the history of World War II—a riveting, rediscovered story of courageous women who sacrificed everything to combat the march of evil across the world.

Thoroughly researched and respectful of its subjects. I agree that sometimes there are so many names, I couldn’t really keep track of them all, but the suffering and endurance of these women should not be forgotten, so the author probably didn’t want to delete anyone from this important historical record. I’m glad I read it.

This is an excellent history of the women involved in the resistance in Paris during World War II. I didn't know about this dark time in Paris about the role women played a part in the war. It hurt my heart how the women were treated and what they did to survive their time in the horrible camps. But, there were always helpers who showed compassion. I recommend this book. These things should never be forgotten. SM
