About this listen

Amsterdam, 1944. Corrie Hartog had one potato to feed her two daughters for three days. She cut it into eight pieces—and gave three to her Jewish neighbor hiding under false papers.

This isn't a story about surrender. It's about the quiet rebellion of acceptance: the choice to stop wasting energy fighting what you cannot control and pivot that energy into the humanity you can choose.

Through archival diaries and forgotten letters, historian Alexandria Love uncovers the most subversive act of World War II—not armed resistance, but radical compassion in the face of starvation.

A pinch of salt to hold what lasts,
A tale to carry what time forgets.
