Synopsis
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.

Synopsis
This is a record of the everyday acts of heroism that saved thousands of Jews from slaughter during the Holocaust. It contains data from 700 interviews with rescuers and non-rescuers in occupied countries. It explores the experiences and motivations of those brave individuals. Why did some risk their own and their families' lives in times of danger to help others? The author survived the Holocaust thanks to the help of a Polish woman who sheltered him.
