First line
Large, wondering, dreamy yet penetrating eyes dominated her face.
From the rear cover
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.
