(Not just based on a true story.) Rachel Blum was 12 when the Nazis invaded her town. Over the next three years, she witnessed war, risked her life to smuggle food for her family, escaped liquidation, hid with a kind Polish couple whose son worked for the SS, was questioned if she was a Jew by an SS General and engineered an incredibly dangerous scheme to overturn a moving trainload of 1,000 Nazi soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHers is not just an incredible, action-packed story, but represents a character arc that young women, as well as young men, as well as adults of all types can draw inspiration from.

Ivan Roluk couldn't believe he was listening to a 15-year-old girl - and putting his life and the life of his family in her hands!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut she was right. Driving trains for the Nazis for three years now, he knew exactly who the Germans were. He knew that there were once more than 20,000 Jews in the girl's home town of Ludmir, and now there was only one. The courageous young girl, Rachel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel -- who had just convinced him to risk his life, as well as the life of his wife and son.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was a risk either way, of course. The war was coming to an end and who knew what the Germans would do to them once they didn't need his services any longer. It was a risk to do it, but a risk not to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe looked behind him. The 20 train cars filled with over 1,000 wounded Nazi soldiers snaked behind his engine-car like a meandering river. In the caboose at the tail of the train was his wife, his son and the little Jewish girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, he heard a slam. What was that? It sounded like the door connecting the engine-car to the first car, which was occupied by high-ranking Nazi officers. Was one of them coming up front?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe moment of truth had arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe thrust the throttle full ahead....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe train jerked forward.... He looked out the window. There, up ahead, was the bend! Had he waited too long?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was no more time to think. There was no more time for fear. It truly was now or never.
