""The Righteous among nations." That's what Israel calls people who risked their own lives to save Jews from the Holocaust during World War II. Since the early 1950s, more than 20,000 of them have been honored at Yad Vashem, Israel's major Holocaust memorial. But most of their stories remain unknown to the general public. More than twenty-five years ago, Peter Hellman set out to change this. His book, Avenue of the Righteous, was one of the first to celebrate the remarkable courage of the Righteous. In this revised and updated third edition, When Courage Was Stronger Than Fear, he expands on the gripping stories told previously and adds an entirely new one."--
