This is an inspiring book that brings assurance that teenagers can be heroes and that not everyone agreed and did nothing in relation to the heinous crimes of the holocaust.
The revelation of the statistics were shocking, truly this book can inspire you to help.
Let us hope history doesn't repeat itself.
