Thoroughly researched, exciting, and engaging. -Samuel P. Oliner, author of Who Shall Live: The Wilhelm Bachner Story -- Samuel P. Oliner Mordecai Paldiel has encyclopedic knowledge of the subject... Country by country, virtually institution by institution, he looks at ways in which Jews rescued Jews.
