No one could have predicted that Žanis Lipke would become a hero. During the day, he worked at the storage facility of German military aviation and at night was busy transporting illegal goods.

Literally under the noses of German soldiers, he took more than fifty people to safety. He made a makeshift shelter for them in his own home. What was the secret behind Lipke's courage - was he simply a risk taker and spiteful daredevil?
