About this listen
Terrified after her father's arrest by the Nazis, Ruth flees to Belgium.
This is the unbelievable autobiographical story of Ruth Uzrad, a Jewish teenager whose life was turned upside down by the Nazi regime. After her father was arrested one night from their Berlin apartment by the Gestapo, Ruth's mother sends 13-year-old Ruth and her two younger sisters out on their escape route across Europe by train to the safety of Belgium.
But then the Nazis also reach Belgium, driving Ruth into the French Jewish underground....
Later, when the Nazis conquer Belgium, Ruth and one of her sisters escape to France, leaving the youngest sister behind to be taken in by a Belgian foster family. Later, Ruth joins the Jewish underground movement in France and takes on a false identity and a new name, Renee. As an underground fighter, she participates in special operations aimed at rescuing Jews in danger. When the German police set out to arrest her, she manages to cross the border into Spain and eventually makes her way to Israel, where she makes her home and spends the rest of her life.

Compelling
The incredible journey of a young German Jewish girl through Nazi occupied Europe. If it wasn’t autobiographical it would be simply unbelievable how with courage, ingenuity, intelligence and luck she managed to somehow survive while saving countless others. Moving and compelling highlighting the worst and best of humanity.

An Incredibly Brave Story
An Incredibly brave story of true life events, of endurance, courage, inner strength. I have not enough words to completely describe the story of Ruth Uzrad. I really do believe that there are people born to this world who have tremendous inner strengths and courage, or maybe it's in us all when we are pushed to our limits. I loved hearing Ruth's story because it helps me learn and understand what really happened to ordinary people during World War II. The story pulled on my heart strings so many times. Ruth Uzrad, a lady that should be so proud of herself and I'm sure her parents were too. A very special lady. 🦋🌸🦋 Extremely well narrated by Suzzane Toren. 🌸
