NO OF PAGES: 0 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: In the bleakest days of World War II, the British desperately seed commandos for a suicide mission to rescue English fliers downed in Eastern Europe. Their only hope: a group of Hungarian Jews who've immigrated to Palestine. Their volunteers: several brave men?and an astonishing young woman named Hanna Senesh, whose courage is tested not only in combat, but in the dank hell-hole of a Nazi prison. A brilliant cast headlines this searing, profound, true story of Israel's Joan of Arc. Hanna's War is both a stirring account of one woman's indomitable will in the face of torture, fear and despair and a tribute to all those who've ever defied tyranny.NOTES: Donated by Larry & Lisa Landry.
