When World War II began on Sept. 1, 1939, Hannie Schaft and the sisters Truus and Freddie Oversteegen were just 18, 16 and 13 years old. But despite their youth, they formed a famous trio in the Dutch resistance: When Nazis invaded, young teens Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were determined to do their part. They bombed trains and ran safehouses. But their most unlikely assignment: seducing and assassinating Nazi officers! And that assignment has been turned into a best-selling book: Seducing and Killing Nazis: Hannie, Truus and Freddie: Dutch Resistance Heroines of World War II. The book’s best-selling author, Sophie Poldermans, is also a women’s rights advocate and public speaker. She knew Truus and Freddie Oversteegen for 20 years and worked closely with them for over a decade as a board member of the National Hannie Schaft Foundation. Sophie joins Dahlia Kurtz on The Goods.
