"An immensely valuable contribution!" William L. Shirer

"The mystery of the rescue phenomenon will probably always elude us. As the recuers' narratives in this remarkable volume shows, the acts of saving Jews seemed spontaneous and natural, and thus the mystery of the rescue act begins to unravel radiantly. The insights which this interdiciplinary collection of sessays subtly pieces together show in unique fashion the preconditions, or the possibilties, of collective courage." DENNIS B.
