This week in Ruma Kereru we have been doing reading. The subject is what is a hero. My group has been readig 'The White Mouse' this is a book about Nancy Wake a WW2 hero that before the war worked as a reporter. While in Austria she saw some Nazi Gestapo whipping Jews this inspired her to help the French when the Nazis invaded france in 1940. At the start all she did was take an unused truck and turn it into an ambulance for injured soldiers. Then when the Allied forces left Dunkirk in December 1940 she retreated over the mountains into spain. But she got caught by the french police that was know entirely german soldiers. But her friend tricked them into letting her go. On her second attempt to get to spain she had to jump off a train so she didn't get caught by the Gestapo. On her sixth attempt to get into spain she finnaly made it. From there she sailed to Portsmouth from there she went to the Special Operation Execuative (SOE) when she went back to france she was a secret agent.
