Description
The book is about Agnes Humbert, a French woman who helped to establish a resistance cell in the summer of 1940. The cell published a news bulletin and passed military information back to London. However, in the spring of 1941, Agnes was betrayed and arrested. She was then interrogated and imprisoned, before being tried and deported to a slave labor camp in Germany. Despite the difficulties she faced, Agnes never gave up hope and continued to fight against the German Occupation.
In the summer of 1940, as the German Occupation tightened its grip on Paris, Agnes Humbert helped to establish one of the first resistance cells. Within a year the group was publishing a news bulletin, helping allied airmen escape and passing military information back to London. Then came the catastrophe of betrayal, followed by arrest and interrogation, imprisonment and trial and, for Agnes, deportation to slave labour camp in Germany. Resistance is the secret journal of a woman who never gave up hope.
