Book excerpt: "[An] excellent book...Not only...the first thorough treatment of the subject, but it is also charged with a poignancy that only a survivor can summon"--The Philadelphia Inquirer. "A remarkable book"--The New York Review of Books. Like Anne Frank but more fortunate, Nechama Tec was one of the "hidden children"--Jews taken in and protected from the Holocaust by Christian families. Here she examines the role of Christians in saving Jewish lives, showing the personal reality of how individuals resisted the Nazi onslaught.
