Who were the rescuers and what motivated them to risk their lives for persecuted Jews? Clearly such people deserve to be remembered and honored. And clearly an understanding of their motivations may help us cultivate such behavior in our own day. Focusing on such "righteous Christians," Tec, herself a survivor helped by Poles, vividly recreates what it was like to pass and hide among Christians and what it was like for Poles to rescue Jews. Concentrating on Poland, the Nazi center for Jewish annihilation, Tec amassed a vast array of published accounts, unpublished testimonies, and interviews, yielding case histories of over 500 Polish helpers, preserving for posterity the heroism of such people, and filling a significant gap in our knowledge of the Holocaust. 916438 1986 When Light Pierced the Darkness: Christian Rescue of Jews in Nazi-Occupied Poland total:6|4:2|3:4| 6 20 17 1 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 05:41:10 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 05:43:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 07:08:12 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 07:08:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 04:33:24 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 04:33:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 10:14:30 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 10:14:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 12 15:03:47 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 15:03:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Mar 14 12:23:52 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 12:23:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 05:48:39 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 05:48:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 05:16:14 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 05:16:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 19:28:37 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 19:28:37 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Nov 02 10:26:18 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 10:26:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jul 31 01:56:01 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 01:56:01 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 16 20:03:59 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 20:03:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 26 15:18:08 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 15:18:14 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Apr 18 08:39:53 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 19 18:01:43 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Feb 23 04:34:05 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 04:34:05 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Jul 05 19:00:55 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 12 19:41:51 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jul 05 17:44:51 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 05 17:44:51 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=931450
