Description

While we put the finishing touches on the next season of Unknown History, here's one more special bonus episode for you from our friends at Macmillan Audio. This week, you'll hear a special excerpt from the audiobook The Nine by Gwen Strauss. The Nine follows the true story of the author’s great-aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris. This heart-stopping story is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times. Get your copy today here or wherever books or audiobooks are sold.
