This work will be arguably the first book in which the experiences and efforts of a number of female rescuers--all of whom knew or knew of each other--have been brought together in a single volume, with the object of honoring their memory and showing how the value of human life was sustained through the Holocaust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on a number of young Jewish women who defied the Nazis, this narrative highlights their courage and sacrifice in their efforts to rescue Jews in France during World War II. Additionally, it shows how these French women responded to Nazi and Vichy France policies of deportation through resistance activities. This is a story that will captivate anyone with an interest in the innate goodness of human beings that can shine even when confronted with the darkest expressions of depravity that occurred during the Holocaust.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul R.
