Helpful Score: 4
The true story that is told in this book, is an extremely important and amazing story. If everyone in the world read this book, it is difficult to believe that the world would not be a better place. The writing is not as strong as the story, but the story is so compelling that the somewhat mixed but still good writing makes no difference. Read this book for your own good, and the good of humanity.
Amazing true life story of an entire French town which safely rescued and hid many Jewish children during WWII.
Powerful WWII story about French people helping Jews.
During the most terrible years of World war 2, when inhumanity and political insanity held most of the world in their grip and the Nazi domination of Europe seemed irrevocable and unchallenged, a miraculous event took place in a smallProtestant town in southern France called Le Chambon.There, quietly, peacefully, and in full view of the Vichy Government and a nearby division of the Nazi SS, the villagers of this city and their clergy organized to save thousands of jewish children and adults from certain death. This is that true, amazing story!
Good story on the behalf of the villagers, I wanted more on the rescued children.
