"The Light in Hidden Places" by Sharon Cameron

Based on the life of one of history’s hidden heroes, “The Light in Hidden Places” (Scholastic) tells the remarkable story of Stefania Podgórska. During the German occupation of Przemsyl, Poland, in World War II, 16-year-old Stefania and her younger sister make the extraordinary decision to hide 13 Jews in their home. Then they must wait, every day, for the next knock at the door, the one that will mean death. When the knock finally comes, it is two Nazi officers, requisitioning Stefania's house for the German army.
