Rescue




The story Rescue, by Milton Meltzer, has 168 pages. It is about how many gentiles saved Jewish people in the time of the Holocaust. One story is how Oskar Schindler saved 1,200 Jews out of concentration camps and even Auschwitz (which was hard to get Jewish people out of) . Another story is how Andre Trocme who saved Jews in Le Chambon. This book has sad depressing part but it would be a good book for any reader that wants to learn about the Holocaust.
