Safe Passage

The remarkable true story of British sisters who rescued Jews from the Nazis. 'You never know what you can do until you refuse to take no for an answer' Gala opera evenings. Sudden wealth and fame. Dangerous undercover missions into the heart of Nazi Germany. Standing up to the perils of the Blitz. No one would have predicted such glamorous and daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook two decidedly ordinary Englishwomen who came of age between the wars and seemed destined never to stray from their quiet London suburb and comfortable civil service jobs. But in 1923 a chance hearing of an aria from Madame Butterfly sparked a passion in the sisters that became a vehicle for both their greatest happiness and the rescue of dozens of Jews facing persecution and death. Uplifting and utterly charming, Safe Passage is a moving testimony to all that can be achieved when conscience and compassion are applied to a collapsing world.
