The Twentieth Train: The True Story of the Ambush of the Death Train to Auschwitz by Marion Schreiber
This is a very good book about the occupation of Belgium by the Germans during WWII. The story of the Belgan resistance and their attacks on trains carrying prisoners to death camps is both thrilling and true. They saved many lives. I passed this book on to an elderly couple who lived through the occupation and they thought it was excellent.
The Twentieth Train: The True Story of the Ambush of the Death Train to Auschwitz by Marion Schreiber
Good read. Not what I expected. I thought it was going to be more about the ambush of the train. That part of the book only took up about 10 pages. The vast majority of the book was the bio info around all the people involved. Prisoners, germans and Rescuers. I found the bios quite engrossing. They were short, as is the book, but the author did a nice job drawing me in and making me care.
