S8Ep13: Time for Courage

This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author Rob Currie to discuss his powerful new middle-grade historical novel, Time for Courage . Set during the final months of World War II in the Netherlands , Time for Courage tells the gripping story of ordinary families who risked everything to save Jewish children from the Nazis. When the German occupation intensifies and the Gestapo begins hunting Jewish youth, the only hope for survival comes from the brave men and women of the Dutch Resistance . In this sequel to Hunger Winter , thirteen-year-old Dirk and his family relocate to a farm near Utrecht, Netherlands , in January 1945. As the Nazis escalate their efforts to capture Jewish children and send them to concentration camps, Dirk’s family secretly joins the resistance effort. Using forged ration cards and hidden safe houses, they help rescue Jewish children and place them with families willing to risk their lives to protect them. Endorsed by award-winning authors and multiple Holocaust museums , Time for Courage combines authentic World War II history with fast-paced adventure and suspense. In this episode, Rob Currie shares the inspiration behind the story, the real historical events that shaped the novel, and why stories of courage, sacrifice, and hope remain so important for young readers today.
