The poignant story of Marianne Cohn, who fought in the French Resistance during World War II.

A luminous portrait of Resistance fighter Marianne Cohn, born in Berlin to a German Jewish family. Her teen years were darkened by the shadow of rising Nazism. During the War, she and her family found refuge in France, and at age 17, she joined the Resistance in Savoie. From then on, until her arrest in May 1944, she worked tireless to hide Jewish children, obtain forged papers for them, and smuggle them secretly to Switzerland. In so doing, she saved more than 200 children from the Nazis.
