To Never Forget: A True WWII Story

By Gys van Beek, Howard Moebius, Mariah Montoya

When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, twenty-one year old Dutchman Gys van Beek was offered multiple times to become a high-ranked official for the Nazis. But though the Dutch were promised riches and privileges beyond imagination, Gys refused. Instead, he secretly joined the Resistance, an underground organization resolved to defying Hitler's regime. Working for the Resistance, Gys rescued several people from capture and death - yet perhaps the most prominent remains an American pilot named Howard Moebius, blasted from the sky in his P-51 Mustang on September 19, 1944. Now, Gys's perspective of WWII combines with VALLEY OF THE SHADOW, Howard Moebius's 1993 account of getting shot down in Holland in a small village named Angeren, where he was saved from the SS by a man his own age... Gys and Moebius's poignant friendship that arose from the experience would prove to persevere across both distance and time.
