The Nine follows the true story of the author’s great aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris.
The author, Gwen Strauss, and Chuck Newman will discuss this story, the writing of the book and her own fascinating life story this Tuesday at 1pm ET. This conversation can be viewed at https://book.jccannarbor.org/schedule/gwen-strauss/.
