Examines the reasons why some people risked their lives to help the Jews in Nazi Europe. The book reveals that many of these acts of bravery were not the result of the heroic impulse, but were a matter of keeping faith with a sense of morality taught from childhood.
Why, during the Holocaust, did some ordinary people risk their lives and the lives of their families to help others - even total strangers - while others stood passively by? Samuel Oliner, a Holocaust survivor who has interviewed more than 700 European rescuers and nonrescuers, provides some surprising answers in this compelling work.
