Hanneke Bakker: Black Market Delivery Girl

A Dutch girl named Hanneke Bakker is working as a black market delivery girl during World War II, as a small rebellion against the Nazis for killing her boyfriend, Bas. While delivering sausages to Mrs. Janssen, Hanneke was asked to find a Jewish schoolgirl, named Mirjam Roodvelt, who she was hiding in her secret room behind the pantry from the Nazis. Although she disapproves of the idea, she knows that this would be something Bas would want her to do. Hanneke decided to trespass Mirjam’s school but was caught by a secretary named Judith and had to make up a lie about trying to find pictures of Bas. A few days later, Hanneke finds Ollie, Bas’ older brother, waiting in her living room to talk to her about why she was at the Jewish School. After

talking, Hanneke was invited to a Student Supper Club to talk to Judith about Mirjam, but when she gets there she realizes that the club is an anti-nazi resistance movement. The resistance helps Hanneke ambush the Nazi transport to recover Mirjam by having Ollie, wearing a Gestapo uniform, distract the guards and have Hanneke run and grab Mirjam, but when Hanneke did grab Mirjam, she refused Hanneke’s help and got herself shot in the neck. During “Mirjam’s” funeral, Hanneke realizes the description of the girl doesn’t match the one given by Mrs. Janssen. She eventually figures out that Mirjam switched places with her best friend and Hanneke traveled to see the real place Mirjam was hiding, where she was told the entire truth of her disappearance.
