Should Peter side with his uncle Olaf? (Zac Johnson) Or will he take a stand with Pastor Torvald? (Craig Robertson)
"Their rulers had fled, and their people were left to face the Nazis alone, and unprotected. But some refused to bow their knee to the German invaders. Some chose to fight, some chose to hide, they chose to resist!"
