A powerful look at an unforgettable era in history
“If we take these children, we can never betray them, no matter what the Nazis do.”

Sister Gabriel spoke up. “The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on they are here. Do you understand?”
Of course the children understood—but how would they hide them if the Nazis came?
