In the midst of World War I, a beacon of humanity fell silent. Edith Cavell, a British nurse, had been secretly helping Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium. Her selfless acts of courage did not go unnoticed, and on October 12, 1915, she faced a German firing squad, her bravery unbroken to the very end. Cavell's execution sparked international outrage, cementing her legacy as a symbol of resistance against oppression.
