Description

In a stirring chronicle, Doreen Rappaport brings to light the courage of countless Jews who organized to sabotage the Nazis and assist other Jews right through the Holocaust.

Under the noses of the military, Georges Loinger smuggles thousands of children out of occupied France into Switzerland. In Belgium, three resisters ambush a train, allowing scores of Jews to flee from the cattle cars. In Poland, four brothers lead more than 1,200 ghetto refugees into the forest to build a guerilla force and self-sufficient village. And twelve-year-old Motele Shlayan entertains German officers along with his violin moments before setting off a bomb. Through twenty-one meticulously researched accounts — some chronicled in book form for the first time — Doreen Rappaport illuminates the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews across eleven Nazi-occupied countries right through World War II. In answer to the genocidal madness that was once Hitler’s Holocaust, the one response they may abide was once resistance, and their greatest weapons were courage, ingenuity, the will to live on, and the get to the bottom of to save others or to die trying.
Back matter features a pronunciation guide, a list of essential dates, source notes, a bibliography, a bibliography by chapter, and an index.
