This just awes me.

There's a new WWII memoir of Dutch resistance fighter who was a teenage girl at the time, Selma van de Perre, now approaching 100.

I first heard about her on the Christiane Amanpour program

www.wliw.org/programs/amanpour-and-company/resistance-fighter-and-holocaust-survivor-selma-van-de-perre/

And then read a few other bits:

The title refers to her needing to remember her new name.

Read about Sophie Scholl a German girl going against the Nazi's. Sophie, her brother and friend were extremely brave considering they were teens /early 20s.

I think the film on her story is free on YOUTUBE. It's subtitled but really worth watching.
