Sheltering the Jews: Stories of Holocaust Rescuers
From the riveting testimonies and files
housed at Yad Vashem, Holocaust historian
Mordecai Paldiel presents dozens of stories
of the circumstances and odds facing Jews
inside Nazi-dominated Europe and those who
would help them. Highlighting the aid and
assistance of non-Jews, Paldeil demonstrates
that the awesome efficiency of the Nazi
death machine did not rule out heroism by
ordinary people, in spite of risks. Stories
and photos focused on conditions of
sheltering, movement of people across
borders, passing as a gentile, rescues of
children, an dangers of detection epitomize
the radical altruism, courage, and ingenuity
that helped some Jews to survive the darkest
moment in history.

Excerpts
"No one is in a better position than Mordecai Paldiel to select the tales that need to be told about sacrifice and heroism among the gentiles (including some Christians) who—in the belly of the beast—defied the killing machines of the Nazi Third Reich. . . . A great read for its stories, Mordecai Paldiel's book also displays profound wrestling with human identity in life and death."
