Description
"In Squirrel Is Alive, Mary Rostad tells the harrowing story of her time working in the Belgian resistance and French underground during World War II. As a teenager in 1940, Mary was horrified by the war unfolding around her as the Nazis invaded her home country of Belgium. Only fifteen years old, and unable to ignore the atrocities she witnessed every day, she started working for the Belgian resistance by passing out literature and thwarting the cruelty of the Nazis. However, after watching friends mysteriously disappear and realizing the danger her work posed for her family and friends, Mary made the brave decision to leave Belgium alone and on foot, with only the clothes on her back to continue her work with the dream of arriving in England to join the Free Belgium Arm. Along the way, Mary dodged bullets and had a front-row seat for D-Day, escaping danger at every turn. Describing the brutality of Hitler's Nazis in vivid detail, she paints a terrifying picture of the war, but one that ultimately ends in triumph"--,Provided by publisher.
