Great story. I found the 1981 film The Girl with the Red Hair on youtube bur it is in Dutch without subtitles. Is there a version online with subtitles? Thanks for sharing.

uow. today I often avoid reading content about wwwii, it is somehow saturated and I have the feeling that everything that needed to be said was said already. so only bitterness and sadness remain. But you just proved me that even for non-fiction storytelling and strong political views can rise a good new angle about such a worn-out topic.

great essay, amazing coloring :)

People always think they will do the right thing when faced with adversity. But there’s nothing like the actual test to show one’s true colors.

Thank you Marina, for bringing these brave young women to life with their beautiful photographs, colors and stories!

In the 2023 movie Zone of Interest there are a couple of scenes of a young Polish girl hiding food for Jews that work outside the walls of Auschwitz. The footage is shot through a thermal camera, looks like negative film. It’s absolutely stunning. A beautiful nod to the resistance movement as is yours here.

P.S.

Thanks also for your quotes by Anne Frank. I’ve been a huge fan of hers since reading her diary in Jr High many decades ago. I wrote an article last December suggesting that I may get to meet her someday based on her faith. In case you’re interested :

We NEED people like this more than over. Infiltrating the asylum sabotaging loony - toons like MTG & Lauren Boebert, that's just the tip of the freakberg. They're hell - bent on disemboweling democracy & backing the GOP domestic terrorists / traitors. They need to have an underground ( the Lincoln Project comes to mind ). Turning the other cheek when democracy is at stake is NOT an option. Sort of went a tad off - topic.
