Princess Vera Obolensky, known as Vicky, has distinguished herself during World War II as an active resister against the horrors of the Nazi regime and Hitler's military occupation. Нег dedication to the cause of freedom stands out as а shining example of an unwavering moral compass. А co­founder of а major French resistance network, she became an efficient worker at the center of its complex intelligence­gathering operations. Caught in the occupiers' dragnet, she withstood the pressure of exhausting interrogations without betraying any secrets. Neither the prison nor the death sentence could break her spirit; even in the face of а cruel execution, Vicky maintained her dignity and endeavored to uphold the morale of her imprisoned comrades. This non-fictional biography is dedicated to her memory.
