Have you seen the movie, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"?
It is so good! It's based on a true historical event during WW2 about Guernsey Island which was occupied by the Germans. The people invented a literary society as a cover for breaking curfew.
In 1946, a writer goes to the island to investigate the story.
The characters are fictional, but it's so heart warming.
We saw it on Netflix, but you can probably find it other places or you can read the book by the same title.

@1creekgirl We toured Colditz in Germany and that has a fascinating history too. It was supposed to be impossible to escape from but that didn't stop them trying.

My Aunt just recommended this book to me and then I saw the movie was on Netflix. Now I don't know if I should read the book first or see the movie first. Glad you enjoyed it so now I'm looking forward to seeing it

@MALUSE I'll go with the book first. I agree that the book is usually better than the movie but it's nice to hear this movie is good so I'll look forward to seeing it in the future
