I had been told of the dangers of the assignment and assured my boss that I could handle it. Now on the dark, ominously quiet streets after curfew, in Nazi-occupied Poland, I wondered. I told myself I’m doing it for my country and for myself.
I hid the folded map in the secret compartment in the heel of my shoe. If I am captured, we will all be tortured and then executed.
I continued until I reached my destination and handed over the map to the leader of the resistance.
I finally let out a sigh of relief and wept.
