This book highlights the role of Jewish women in saving Jewish children's lives during the Holocaust.
How many people rescued Jews during the Holocaust? There is no certain answer to this question other than "far too few." Fewer than 0.5% of the 700 million non-Jews in Nazi occupied Europe helped rescue Jews.
A few exceptional Jewish women, however, went to extraordinary lengths to save the lives of large numbers of Jewish children, while being targets of the Nazi genocide themselves. These rescue attempts occasionally succeeded, sometimes failed, and frequently resulted in the women themselves being murdered.
Few of these women have been recognized. This book honours them.
