Abstract
A half century ago, leaders in Germany, a Christian nation, decided to kill every Jewish child, woman, and man they could lay their hands on. Now, David Gushee explores the actions and inactions of millions of Europeans whose Jewish neighbors were being led to the slaughter. What motivated this extremely small minority--at the risk of their own lives--to rescue Jews in need?
