Holocaust Rescue and Liberation
From the Series Understanding the Holocaust
During the Holocaust, many individuals and groups risked their lives to rescue Jews who had fled from the dangers of Nazi-occupied territory. They provided the refugees with hiding places, food and clothing, and forged documents to help them escape. When the Allies liberated the Holocaust camps at the end of the war, the world finally learned the truth about the atrocities committed by the Third Reich.

Each volume in this series begins with the same two-page timeline. A brief introduction discusses the main issue, followed by chapters which elaborate various aspects. Each chapter has several images, making for a quick read. The images are repeated in other volumes. Quotations are often from secondary or tertiary sources. The series is thought-provoking and gripping, particularly the volumes dealing with children, resistance, the camps, and survivors. These are attractive books that are easy-to-read and hard to put down. The series is a valuable reference source as well.Bibliography. Index.
