Andree Florin knelt in the gutter crying while her mother pleaded with the soldier not to shoot her. Embittered by the Nazi’s treatment of her community, walking on the sidewalk was one of the ways she tested her oppressors’ resolve to subjugate the Belgian community. After four years of living in her basement and seventy years of silence, out of the shadows comes a late, but relevant voice. The White Pocketbook is the amazing true story of one little girl who faces down her occupiers at every opportunity, ultimately facing the planned burning of her village.
