Less than a century ago, the Second World War took the lives of more than fifty million people; more than six million of them were systematically exterminated through the Holocaust. Yet amid such darkness, there were glimmers of light--individuals who risked everything to save those hunted by the Nazis. Today, as bigotry and intolerance and the threats of fascism and authoritarianism are ascendent once again, these heroes' little-known stories resonate.
What The Reviewers Say
Like the sociologists and psychologists who have studied those who risked their lives, families, and careers to save those threatened by mass murder, Hurowitz finds and reveals common threads.
Refreshingly, the author makes no pretense of inheriting the stories he tells.
... an inspiring group portrait of Holocaust 'rescuers'.
