Wojenne siostry with delivery to Ireland

Sister Wanda sat on a wooden chair in the kitchen, while two furious Gestapo men paced around her. She prayed for one thing only: that they would not order her to stand up. Beneath the chair, hidden by her habit, a little girl was cowering, a Jewish orphan whom the sisters had already once saved from death.
The sisters knew that the drunken, rampaging Soviet soldiers would not let up. They decided it was time to flee. Sister Adelgund was about to join them when she heard the screams of terrified girls. The soldiers had driven four teenagers down into the cellar. Adelgund could not leave the girls to certain death. She followed them down into the cellar, bravely. The girls managed to escape. Adelgund was found two days later, raped and brutally murdered.
Agata Puścikowska tells the stories of extraordinary, heroic women. Sisters who did not hide away in their convents from the war and the occupation, but offered help to everyone who needed it. They helped to hide partisans, supplied food, gave their own lives for people who were often complete strangers to them, and sometimes even took up arms. After the war, too, some of them fought against the communists. Little is said about their heroism even today. Far too little!

Agata Puścikowska is a journalist, columnist and reporter, and the author of several books. She is a happy wife and the mother of five children.
