Ever wonder whether there's a hero within you? As a young boy, the author reveled in the fantastic tales he heard of his grandparents exploits resisting the Nazis. One thing always bothered him, though. How was it that these two seemingly mild-mannered people were able to do the things they did? Where did their courage come from? And how does one prepare to face life's great challenges? These are the questions this book tries to answer. For ten years and across two continents Victor Lerch searched out his grandparents story, visiting the places where the great events of their lives took place and talking to people who knew them during the war years. In the process, he discovered a framework to live his own life by, useful even for those of us who will never face such mortal threats. This book tells the story of that journey.
