This young readers' edition of the blockbuster New York Times bestseller is the remarkable
untold story of the young Jewish women who became resistance fighters against the Nazis during
World War II. It has already been optioned by Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture. As
their communities were being destroyed  groups of Jewish women and teenage girls across Poland
began transforming Jewish youth groups into resistance factions. These ?ghetto girls? helped
build systems of underground bunkers  paid off the Gestapo  and bombed German train lines. At
the center of the book is eighteen-year-old Renia Kukielka  who traveled across her war-torn
country as a weapons smuggler and messenger. Other women who joined the cause served as armed
fighters  spies  and saboteurs  all risking their lives for their missions. Never before
chronicled in full  this is the incredible account of the strong Jewish women who fought back
against the seemingly unstoppable Nazi regime. It follows the women through arrests  internment
and for a lucky few  into the late 20th century and beyond. It also includes an eight-page
insert of black-and-white photos  so that readers can see firsthand the extraordinary women who
bravely fought for their freedom in the face of overwhelming odds. * A Mighty Girl's Book of
