Girl in the Belgian Resistance: A Wakeful Eye in the Underground

Girl in the Belgian Resistance: A Wakeful Eye in the Underground by David Fernande K.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780979277894.

I had all kinds of courage and guts; I don t know where that came from, says Fernande Keufgens Davis ( Freddie ) of the risks that she took as a teenager in the Belgian Resistance of World War II. After the shock of finding her formerly occupied village annexed as part of Germany, Davis was drafted to work in a German munitions factory. Determined not to aid the enemy, she jumped from the train and went underground. Pre-dating her official Resistance work, Davis fulfilled, through her spirit and reactions to the occupant, the words of Lucie Aubrac, the fearless French resistant and memoirist who maintained that any act against oppression, no matter how small or private, is a brave act of resistance. A call to conscience for us all.
