The Light of Days at last tells the true story of incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalionthe granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivorstakes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers, armed fighters, intelligence agents, and saboteurs, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps, and for a lucky fewlike Renia, who orchestrated her own audacious escape from a brutal Nazi jailinto the late 20th century and beyond
