Resistance by Jennifer A. Nielsen

 


In Resistance, the reader meets Chaya Lindner, a Jewish teenager in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II.  While most of her people are being forced into ghettos or removed to labor camps, she has chosen to use her blond, Polish looks and Polish accent to resist the Nazis.  She becomes a courier, someone who helps smuggle people out of the ghettos and smuggle food and information into the ghettos.  Soon, she is drawn into increasingly more dangerous work.  After her group is nearly destroyed, she is ordered to go with Esther to the Warsaw ghetto, where she will fight the Nazis directly.  As they travel, Chaya can't help but wonder if Esther is truly a member of the resistance, or someone who will get her killed.  If you are interested in World War II, this might be a good read for you.
