Hanna's War

At the beginning of World War II, Hanna Szenes, a Hungarian Jew living in British Palestine volunteers to parachute behind enemy lines in German-occupied Yugoslavia to save fellow Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps. After she enlisted in the British Army she trained in Egypt as a paratrooper with the British Special Operations Executive. In the Spring of 1944 Hanna and a few colleagues were parachuted into Yugoslavia and joined a partisan group. Despite warnings against venturing into German-occupied Hungary, Hanna insisted that she continue her mission. Arrested at the Hungarian border, Hanna and her companions are sent to a special prison where she is interrogated under torture. However, Hanna refuses to reveal little more than her name.
