When courage was stronger than fear

More about the book

Twenty years ago, in Avenue of the Righteous, the original edition of this book, Peter Hellman wrote one of the first accounts of the men and women who succeeded in saving Jews from the Nazis. These courageous few have been recognized as the 'Righteous of Nations' by Israel, with trees planted in their honor. This updated edition includes the stories of five of the Righteous, tales of high drama, heartbreak, and hope that mark the return of a significant contribution to the literature of the Holocaust.
