Description: "Agnete Ottosen was tough, unsentimental and remarkable. When World War II broke out, Ottosen immediately joined the Resistance, organizing the escape of many Jews, and writing for an underground newspaper. She was caught and tortured by the Gestapo but revealed nothing, managing to survive internment in the notorious Ravensbruck concentration camp." "Sonja Mills, Ottosen's great-niece, has written a play that offers historical insight and critical reflection on some of the most urgent issues of our time - nationalism, justice and freedom."--Jacket.
