Recensioner i media

The vast majority of those living under Nazi control were either complicit or turned a blind eye to what was happening. Yet a few, at great risk to their own lives, did all they could to save Jews from capture and death. They are a crucial reminder that the Holocaust was not inevitable. It was not written in fate. There were choices to be made. Tim Dowley does a vital job in telling the stores of ten of the brave men and women who did dare to stand up against the cruelty of the times . Simply and vividly told, these lives both inspire and challenge us.
