A notable memorial to individual and collective heroism

Meir Wagner's The Righteous Of Switzerland: Heroes Of The Holocaust focuses on one of the aspects of the Holocaust that is as heroic as the atrocities of the Third Reich were horrific. Non-jews of Switzerland who risked their opposition, hardship, danger, and even death because they refused to remain neutral in the face of Nazi crimes against humanity. Their combined and determined efforts were to result in the saving of thousands of Jewish lives from Nazi pogroms and death camps. While some of these courageous figures are known, most are relatively obscure and "unsung" -- but their lives and deeds must not be forgotten. In addition to their individual stories, Meir Wagner's The Righteous Of Switzerland is enhanced with the recorded speeches of Yitzhak Mayer; Andre von Moos; and Federal Councilor Joseph Deiss. A notable memorial to individual and collective heroism in service to humanity, The Righteous Of Switzerland is a welcome and ardently recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library Holocaust Studies reference collections and reading lists.
