text: This book was one of a number of books which I have read on this subject. It is good to read about people who show compassion; in the hope that it leads one to follow in the steps of decency and courage. It also shows that there were people on the side of the aggressor who did not want to carry out the atrocities of the governing body at the time. This holds true in the world today and brings to mind that wealth and power are not worth loosing our compassion and dignity for.
