To Save a Life: Stories of Holocaust Rescue by Ellen Land-Weber

From the Publisher

The Holocaust takes on a riveting immediacy in these true stories of an everyday, understated heroism that saved thousands of Jews from annihilation at the hands of the Third Reich. Combining personal interviews with contemporary and vintage photographs, To Save a Life pairs the stories of a handful of rescuers with those of people they saved." "These stories of courage and risk, set in Holland, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, represent a great many other stories of rescue that will never be documented.

What People Are Saying

Andy Grundberg
With a photographer's eye for the telling detail, Ellen Land-Weber has gathered remarkably heartfelt and vivid accounts of human bravery and compassion. By recording how some of us behave in extremis, To Save a Life can be measured alongside the great documentary projects of Lewis Hine, Walker Evans and James Agee, and Dorothea Lange and Paul Taylor.
