Why did they do it? Why did they put their lives on the line just to save Jews?
They came from all walks of life these folks—teachers, shopkeepers, factory workers, housewives, farmers. They were quite ordinary in most ways, but in courage and heroism they were fierce. Recalling the Holocaust with luminous intensity, rescuers tell how they provided hiding places, procured false passports, arranged for medical care, and even interceded with the Gestapo on behalf of arrested Jews. Illustrated with more than 100 contemporary and vintage photographs, this riveting book sets forth dozens of personal narratives (the rescuers and the rescued).
Quantities are limited.
