In the Garden of the Righteous : Richard Hurowitz

The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust Paperback | HISTORY/Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust Powerfully illuminating and inspiring profiles that pay tribute to the incredible deeds of the Righteous Among the Nations, little-known heroes who saved countless lives during the Holocaust. “Richard Hurowitz’s heroes have little in common: They are German circus ringmasters, Greek archbishops, two-time Italian Tour de France winners, Polish doctors’ daughters, Japanese diplomats. What joins them is the refusal to surrender their consciences. Under Nazi eyes, they all sheltered, supported, or rescued Jews, often at tremendous personal expense. And each shines in these stirring, spirited pages like a beacon amid darkness.”—Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Witches and The Revolutionary
