In these pages children are sent from home to face new lands alone, teens risk their lives to resist in ghettos and forests, prisoners rise above the miseries of ghettos and concentration camps through art, and diplomats and clergy employ their wiles to save all those they can.\u003cbr\u003eBrief biographical sketches, maps, and a personalized timeline further animate these courageous individuals.
