Walls: Resisting the Third Reich, One Woman's Story, Hiltgunt Zassenhaus, 1974, Germany, MEMOIR

"...Her friends repeatedly urge her to flee, but she refuses, and it is her secret files that allow the Swedish Red Cross to locate Scandinavian prisoners and get them out of Germany before the massive killings of political prisoners at the end of the war.
