When the germans started arriving she knew it was time to leave her hometown because she had heard of stories about other Jews being deported by the nazis and never coming back.  Sara and her mother escaped their corrupt town to another small town but they only stayed there to hide for a short amount of time. When it was no longer safe she was told to escape and the others would hide her mother.  She left her mother and decided to become a resistance fighter where she traveled from village to village to give to other females who wanted to fight.  They traveled and gathered so many females including young teenagers, on their first mission they distracted the enemies so the partisans could attack.  The men were impressed so thy offered them to join in a lot of missions.  Although joining the men on missions was what they wanted to do it started to become uncomfortable for them because they were never credited for their work because the men would take credit for the work they did.
