Book
Village of scoundrels : based on a true story of courage during WWII / Margi Preus.
Forging documents, smuggling people over the border, carrying coded messages for the French resistance - the teenagers of Les Lauzes find ways to help the refugees in their midst. For the first years of World War II, the remoteness of their village offers them a certain amount of protection, and the townspeople take on the task of sheltering Jewish children rescued from French concentration camps. But as the Nazi occupiers infiltrate every corner of France, the noose tightens, and the operation becomes increasingly dangerous. First, a policeman is sent to spy on their doings and uncover the village "scoundrels" - the teenagers, pastors, and others who have been aiding the visitors. And when the Gestapo arrives with a list of names, the young people must race against time to get their new friends to safety.
