About this listen

Inspired by the incredible true story of how the people of Denmark saved their Jewish neighbours during WW2

Helsingør, Denmark, 1943

In the midst of the German occupation during World War Two, Inger Bredahl joins the underground resistance and risks her life to save members of Denmark’s Jewish community and help them escape to Sweden.

Copenhagen, 2018

Inger’s granddaughter, Cecilie Lund, is mourning her death when a mysterious discovery while cleaning out Inger’s flat leads past and present to intersect. As long-held secrets finally see the light of day, Cecilie learns the story of her grandmother’s courage and bravery, and of the power of friendship, love, and standing for what’s right…even when you have everything to lose.

An inspiring tale of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.

I thought this was an interesting subject that could have been written a little better but it was still good. Just a bit too much of a love story with a lame ending than a true depiction of the horrors of that time and no real depth of what the people of Denmark did to save as many Jews as they could.

The narrator was brilliant though and I'll definitely watch out for more narrated by her.

Good, but not great story. Terrific narrator.

I was enjoying this story but one too many explanations about racing hearts, sideways glances and flushing necks was too much for me. It cheapened the tale and I cannot finish. A shame.

Spare me the romance
