A wife, a mother of six children....and a wartime propagandist for the Allies. Charlotte of Luxembourg faced a terrible dilemma as her tiny country faced enemy invasion by Hitler's Third Reich. Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg was a ”propagandist in pearls” who used personal charm and the power of radio to reach her people in their darkest hour. Combining vivid eye-witness testimony with dramatic reconstruction, it is the story of how one of the world’s smallest democracies survived the brutal occupation of Hitler’s Third Reich. It reveals a powerful and lasting truth: ordinary people will endure hardship, imprisonment, even death, if they believe they have someone to believe in – to keep alive their hopes.
