Twist, Tumble, Triumph — The Inspiring Life Of Olympic Gymnast Ágnes Keleti

Description

Doing gymnastics, Ágnes Keleti feels free―until the day her coach tells her there’s a new law in Hungary barring Jewish athletes from the gym. Once Germany sends soldiers into Budapest, they are impossible to ignore and Ágnes hatches a plan. With identity papers from a Christian woman, she goes into hiding in a small farming village. She does housework for a family who support the Nazis, but she never stops dreaming of the day she will be able to compete at the Olympics.
