When Light Pierced the Darkness

Presents an account of the rescue of Jews by Christians in Nazi-occupied Poland, which draws heavily on the author's own childhood experiences. Her in-depth study contrasts the attitudes and behaviour of altruistic helpers, and paid rescuers. This book deals squarely with the ingrained anti-Semitism in Polish society.

`A book that is a long overdue and valuable contribution to both Holocaust history and the study of human nature.' Jewish Reporter

Klappentext
Hiding Jews from the Nazis carried the death penalty, and yet an unusual group of Christians willingly opened their doors to Jews. Who were these rescuers and what motivated them to risk their lives for persecuted Jews? Based on case histories and the author's own personal experiences, she vividly recreates the experiences of both the rescuers and the rescued.
