The story of the Righteous Gentiles

Saving The Jews: Amazing Tories Of Men And Women Who Defied The "Final Solution" is the story of the Righteous Gentiles who sought to rescue Jewish men, women and children from certain death at the hands of the Nazis during the horrific years of World War II. Many were to be found out and sent to concentrations camps, experienced the atrocities of the camps and losing their own lives. Here are the stories of such well known figures as Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, and fifty other individuals throughout Europe who risked everything to save the lives of thousands of Jews targeted for extinction simply for being Jewish. Highly recommended reading, Saving The Jews is a welcome and invaluable contribution to the growing library of Holocaust Studies supplemental reading lists and reference collections.

For anyone seeking true stories of selfless courage

Saving The Jews: Amazing Stories Of Men And Women Who Defied The "Final Solution" is a magnificent compendium of stories of how almost 18,000 non-Jewish men and women from some 40 different countries risked their lives during World War II to save Jews from dying in the Nazi holocaust. While a few are well known (Schindler, Wallenberg, the Dutch friends and neighbors of Anne Frank and her family), most were of these "Righteous Gentiles" were known only to friends and family -- and the people whose lives they rescued. Saving The Jews is a remarkable, seminal work that is an enthusiastically recommended acquisition for holocaust studies, Judaic history collections, and the reading list of anyone seeking true stories of selfless courage in the face of overwhelming evil.
