As well as providing important historical testimony to the courage and tenacity of the many rescuers listed, the author does not neglect those who, for reasons of a lack of testimony, cannot be acknowledged, but who nevertheless played their part in ensuring that contacts were made, doors opened and movement to a freed life made possible.
This book is also a tribute to those named who didn't "walk by on the other side" when they recognised evil in their midst, but took it upon themselves to act. The author's acknowledgements illustrate the extent of the Jewish diaspora whose members witnessed these acts of righteouness - from California to Shanghai, and from Worksop to Pretoria - and it is also a tribute to the author that she has managed to produce both a study and a reference work which will stand for a long time as witness to one of the darkest periods in Jewish history.
This book deserves an honoured place in the library of all researchers and writers who have Holocaust studies as part of their speciality.
