Course Description

Forget the history textbooks — the real fight for freedom was waged in the shadows. This class dives “behind the shadows” to explore the astonishing, unwritten history of WWII women whose courage turned the tide of the war. We will move beyond traditional narratives to study the critical and covert roles these agents played across Europe, from the streets of occupied Paris to the underground networks of the Dutch resistance. You will learn the techniques of espionage and the brutal reality of sabotage. But their work was not only destructive — we will also examine their extraordinary efforts as rescuers, which saved thousands of lives. These women were not just heroes — they were pivotal, highly trained operatives who risked everything. Join us to uncover the identity, motivation and legacy of the “shadow” agents who held the fate of a vast geopolitical region — and the Allied war effort — in their hands.
