I thought it was going to be more about the ambush of the train. That part of the book only took up about 10 pages. The vast majority of the book was the bio info around all the people involved. Prisoners, germans and Rescuers. I found the bios quite engrossing. They were short, as is the book, but the author did a nice job drawing me in and making me care. ( ) This is a very good book about the occupation of Belgium by the Germans during WWII. The story of the Belgan resistance and their attacks on trains carrying prisoners to death camps is both thrilling and true. They saved many lives. I passed this book on to an elderly couple who lived through the occupation and they thought it was excellent. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Silent Rebels" tells for the first time the amazing true story of how three young people stopped a train and rescued more than 200 Jews on their way to the Auschwitz death camp. Equipped only with three pairs of pliers, a hurricane lamp and a single pistol, Youra Livchitz, Jean Frankelmon and Robert Maistriau carried out a plan that had been hatched by Jewish members of the resistance but rejected as too dangerous by the armed partisans. Marion Shreiber's gripping book draws on private documents, archive material and police reports, and not least interviews with escapers, to create a vivid, and often very moving, portrait of this event, and the world that engendered it.
