About
"Agnete Ottosen was tough, unsentimental and remarkable. When World War II broke out, Ottosen immediately joined the Resistance, organizing the escape of many Jews, and writing for an underground newspaper. She was caught and tortured by the Gestapo but revealed nothing, managing to survive internment in the notorious Ravensbruck concentration camp." "Sonja Mills, Ottosen's great-niece, has written a play that offers historical insight and critical reflection on some of the most urgent issues of our time - nationalism, justice and freedom."--Jacket.

  1. 1

    How does Agnete Ottosen’s tough and unsentimental nature challenge the traditional tropes and expectations we often associate with female heroes in wartime narratives?

  2. 2

    Given that this book is written as a play by Ottosen’s great-niece, how does the dramatic format uniquely allow us to step inside historical events in a way that traditional prose or biography might not?

  3. 3

    Ottosen chose to risk her life for the Resistance and the rescue of Jewish strangers; in your own life, what kind of moral line would push you past self-preservation and into active defiance?
