Helping to hide those avoiding the German authorities, she was soon betrayed and subjected to repeated violent interrogations. Many of her friends were executed, but Sabine was instead sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp, via the Amersfoort and Ravensbrück camps. Enduring gruelling conditions and backbreaking forced manual labour, she survived through a combination of guile and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut it was only after Sabine’s death that her daughter Eva discovered an archive of letters detailing her extraordinary life, revealing a rich inner world and a past she had discussed little. Amongst them were declarations of love from pilot Taro, shot down in his Spitfire over northern France aged just 26; notes from Sabine’s second love, Gerard, executed by the Germans; letters to her mother smuggled out in her prison laundry; and passionate, creepy missives from a German professional criminal named Gebele, who would ultimately save Sabine’s life. She emerges from this correspondence as a woman with an indefinable aura, somehow in control of her own destiny even when, to all intents and purposes, she was not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA transfixing story of survival, \u003cem\u003eSabine’s War\u003c\/em\u003e captures a remarkable life in the words of the young woman who lived it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46628140712172,"sku":"9780008519186","price":26.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25973482191.jpg?v=1751903441"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/eva-taylor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
