Hannie Schaft, a 24-year-old law student from Haarlem, risked everything to fight Nazi tyranny.
She smuggled Jewish families to safety, sabotaged German operations, and executed collaborators — earning the title “the girl with the red hair.” Tortured, betrayed, and executed just three weeks before liberation, she became a national heroine and a symbol of courage.
Her story reminds the world that even in darkness, one brave voice can ignite freedom.
