SUMMARY:First Tuesday Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Friedman\, Matti. Out of the Sky: An Untold Story of Heroism an
 d Rebirth in Nazi Europe. 247 pages. 2026 (Livia)\nIn&nbsp\;Out of the Sky
 \, Matti Friedman unravels one of the strangest episodes of World War II: 
 In 1944\, a team of young women and men who had escaped the Holocaust made
  the inconceivable choice to parachute back into Nazi-occupied Europe unde
 r the cover of a British military operation. By the end of the mission\, n
 ot a single Nazi was harmed and not a single Jew was saved\, and many of t
 he agents died in the process. Yet some of their names would become legend
 ary\, especially that of twenty-three-year-old Hannah Senesh\, famed as a 
 poet and the&nbsp\;author of the beloved Hebrew song “Eli\, Eli.” Thei
 r story would become one of the young state of Israel’s founding myths. 
 But what exactly was the mission\, and what had the parachutists actually 
 accomplished? What made them heroes?\nUsing thousands of original document
 s from once-secret files\, manuscripts\, memoirs\, and unpublished letters
 \, Matti Friedman follows four of the parachutists from the spring of 1944
  to the operation’s dramatic end that winter.&nbsp\;In&nbsp\;Out of the 
 Sky\, he tells the gripping and surprising tale of a forgotten moment\, de
 monstrating how storytelling itself can have a power even greater than war
 fare. And in exploring the line between myth and reality\, heroism and fut
 ility\, he creates an argument that has resonance in our own time. \nDCPL:
