For those who don't know her, she's just a white sandstone statue. Dressed in traditional regional clothing, she clutches a handkerchief in her right hand and overlooks six hundred small, perfectly manicured, boxwood hedge squares.

To those who do know her, she represents a widow, a mother, a sister, a child, an aunt, or a grandmother in mourning over men who never returned after the war, leaving a gaping hole in their very existence, their community, and their lives.

Janneke, a nurse, as well as a resistance courier, takes us chapter by chapter through the unfolding of one of the largest Nazi crimes in the Netherlands toward the end of World War 2, where, in retaliation for an attack on a German motor car by the resistance, the majority of the town's men were transported to Germany to be starved to death in German work camps. Many homes in the village were set ablaze, leaving women and children, not only without their husbands and fathers, but homeless as well.

Will learning this story help future generations understand the futility of war and all the pain and suffering it causes?

About the Author
Bailey, Alyce: - In 1947, Alyce was born in the village of Putten in the Netherlands. While growing up, she started asking questions about why so many children in her school were being raised by just their mothers. The answer would be, My father died in the war. Alyce felt fortunate that her father was able to escape this undeserved fate. Nobody would talk about what really happened until Alyce started collecting stories and interviewing family members. At twenty-three years old, Alyce immigrated to the United States with full intent to tell the story of the Nazis' crimes in Putten. Working, sometimes holding two or three jobs, and raising a daughter by herself got in the way of actually sitting down to write a manuscript. Alyce, now retired, lives with her husband in Colorado. Retirement gave her the opportunity to finally put her stories, research, and interviews together to tell this important historic story about her birthplace.
