July 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of Hannah Szenes, born on July 17, 1921. Originally from Hungary, the young poet was living in on a kibbutz in Mandate Palestine when WWII began. She engaged in a daring, ill-fated rescue mission to save Jews in Europe from the Holocaust, and was parachuted into Yugoslavia. This is her story of immense courage.
