Blessed is the Match

In 1944, as the Holocaust consumed Europe, a 23-year-old Jewish poet volunteered for a mission many believed was impossible. Hannah Senesh left her home in Palestine, trained with the British military, and parachuted into Nazi-occupied Europe in an effort to aid resistance fighters and help rescue Hungarian Jews before they were deported to Auschwitz. But her legacy lives not only in her courage, but in her words. In this episode of When Women Walked, we explore the life, sacrifice, and poetry of a young woman who believed that even the smallest flame could light the darkest night.
