Book Review: From a Biased Point Of View
Summary: 5 Stars

Brave, or 'Righteous' people, whether in Holland, Bulgaria, France, Germany and anywhere else in Europe, helped Jews survive. Servants, concierges, ministers, social workers, guards, all unobtrusively went to work to save Jews. Nothing fully explains that kind of courage.

The minister of Le Chambon Sur Lignon who organized his unarmed village to hide and save hundreds of Jews was my father's cousin. His younger brother was the teacher who chose to go with the arrested children into deportation and death, when the Nazis offered him his freedom. It is easy for me still to bring to mind these dread-filled years. But for those afraid to forget, and for those who wonder what life was like for Jews in Europe then, there is no better book, bringing to life those who helped beat the odds, so that survival, instead of being a crazy hope, could become a reality.

Reading about them is to honor them.
