The Courage to Care von Carol Rittner
Tells the stories of rescuers of the Jews during the Holocaust. These are ordinary people, not the famous ones such as Schindler. The forward by Elie Wiesel was emotional. Wiesel also writes a prologue, and asks: why so few rescues? I'm not sure that question can be answered definitively. 153 pages
This book is somehow different, better than many other stories I've read on this topic of Righteous Gentiles.
Of particular note: an entire village in France who saved thousands. It is called Le Chambon, may it always be remembered for a blessing.
And a Bavarian army officer called Major Julius Schmahling who saved many people in the Haute Loire. He is linked to the village and helped make their actions possible.
