Hidden Hope How a Toy & a Hero Saved Lives During the Holocaust by Elisa Boxer illustrated Amy June Bates*

 Ms. Boxer's relates how Jacqueline, a teenage "social worker", participates in the French Resistance during WWII. With a wooden duck tucked in her satchel, she transports false identities & papers for hidden French Jews. She saves more two hundred lives! Surprisingly, Jacqueline isn't her real name. She is really Judith Geller and is a Jew! 

The author's note and the illustrator's note share more amazing facts about Judith Geller and her fight vs. the Nazis.

*Highly recommend.
