About this title

Synopsis

“Fritz Graebe’s courage justifies our faith in humankind.”—Elie Wiesel, author of Night

“This book combines a story of high moral passion with all the excitement of a spy thriller. Fritz Graebe, who as a non-Jew risked his life repeatedly during World War II to save Jews from Hitler’s firing squads and death camps, was also an exceedingly astute and clever man who time and again outwitted the Nazis at their own game. Tragically there were too few Fritz Graebes to avert catastrophe for the great majority of European Jews, but his story is a reminder that during even the darkest moments of human history there are individuals who, at great personal cost, say ‘no’ to the darkness and provide beacons of light for the rest of us. As we face our own moral dilemmas, we can only hope that some of Fritz Graebe’s courage rubs off on us.”—Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor of theology and ethics, Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California
