Holocaust: The Holocaust Saviors: True Stories of Rescuers who risked all to Save Holocaust Refugees

by Ryan Jenkins

The Secret Heroes of WWII THIRD EDITION - WITH ADDED CONTENT!! ~ READ FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED ~BONUS RIGHT AFTER THE CONCLUSION - ACT NOW BEFORE GONE! One of the questions that often gets asked about the concentration camps of World War II is how the Nazi’s were able to gain the compliance of all citizens in order to segregate and murder over 6 million Jewish people. The number is staggering. That number represents nearly two thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. With anti-Semitic feelings growing in Europe again, this is a valid question. The answer is fear. Citizens feared that they would meet the same fate. That their loved ones would be punished. So many turned a blind eye, or worse helped. There were those that did not. These are those that we consider heroes of the Holocaust. They worked in secret, guarding children, families, innocent men and women condemned to die simply because of their faith. Learn more about the man hailed as the real “Captain American”, risking his life to smuggle out large numbers of Jews at a time. Find out why he would be haunted until the end of his life because of those he couldn’t save. Read about the country whose citizens believed in the ideal of human kindness on a widespread basis, sacrificing their freedom for those that believed something different from their own faith. These are but a few stories of bravery and the indomitable human spirit that resides in us all if we dare to find it. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Each story is well written and gives not only the details of sacrifice made, but also the history behind them. These are not the types of things you read about in your standard history text. The author paints a picture of unity and brotherhood that our nations sorely need to find today.” - Rolland (Manitoba, Canada) “The Holocaust brings tears to my eyes. Ever since I read the Diary of Anne Frank when I was in school, I’ve been interested in the events of World War II. The idea that nations could turn a blind eye while 6 million people were murdered is shocking. Men, women, children, it didn’t matter. That’s why books like this one are so important. Not everyone was blind to the horror. There were heroes and this book is an excellent example of just a few that gave everything to save strangers. Well written, intriguing, and simply a good read.” - Christina (Missouri, US).

I liked the premise of the book. What I didn't like was that it needed to be proofread. There were a lot of mistakes and it kinda took away from the stories for me. Plus it read like a report for middle school at times.

Very valuable

Collected here are inspiring stories of Righteous of the Nations of whom we never hear. Author Jenkins includes accounts of very brave women also, which I feel personally benefited by, we don't often hear of these amazing role models. Mr Jenkins often refers and compares the times and incidents he is writing of to modern day, and I find that really helps to understand how things were and how they came to be. His account of how the Muslim Righteous in Albania felt it was their sacred duty to act as rescuers is a story that badly needs to be told today when many tend to tar the entire Muslim community with the brush of the minority of fanatic evil doers. Mr. Jenkins also has an engaging habit of personalizing his stories, and digressiing to explain things to his modern readers in a manner that makes you feel as if you are speaking with a kind and interesting teacher - the one who was everyone's favorite. Halfway through the book the editing suffers some, but it's not a great hindrance. One glaring error pulled me out of the book, he states Himmler was "quickly hung" by the British, when it's well documented he committed suicide, that led me to doubt him for a bit, but the rest of his facts seem rock sound.

Didn't finish it...

The simple fact is that it's hard to take a lot of what's in this book at face value. For example, there's the story of the Australian socialite who saved 'thousands' of downed British pilots who had been shot down by German 'missiles', by driving them across the border in her car. How can you separate fact from fiction from bad editing?


Ill be moving on...

Interesting

I have read a couple of books by this guy. Maybe not Pulitzer Prize winners, but usually interesting. The only thing that bothered me about this one, was his persistent insinuations that Hitler planned to kill all Jews by gassing from day one. This is simply not true. Gassing came about after experimentation of other methods.

Informative

Very well researched and presented. For anyone who has an interest in events that helped shape the world, he has produced several.

Was not what I expected

I enjoyed reading and I did learned some new things not taught in high school in the early 70's. Worth reading just for that.
