(Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust by David P. Gushee is...)
Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust by David P. Gushee is an authoritative and indispensable exploration of a highly important aspect of the Holocaust, the willingness of a small, but morally significant, number of non-Jews to take on great risks for themselves and their families to rescue Jews from the Nazi death machine. In this well-documented, well-written book, Gushee explores the full range of Gentile responses to the plight of the Jews from overt hostility and obscene brutality to altruistic rescue, the better to understand the achievements of truly Righteous Gentiles. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Holocaust. —Richard L. Rubenstein, President Emeritus, Distinguished Professor of Religion, University of Bridgeport

Now, David Gushee explores the actions and inactions of millions of Europeans whose Jewish neighbors were being led to the slaughter. What motivated this extremely small minority--at the risk of their own lives--to rescue Jews in need?
