Annotation: Here is a new group of dramatic and harrowing stories of the Holocaust. These stories of both the victims and the evildoers recount the depravity, suffering, and courage that took place during this shameful time in world history. These stirring stories will inpire teens to understand the meaning of moral commitment and to say never again.

The village of Le Chambon, rich in European history, was home to WWII hero and spiritual leader Pastor Andre Trocme. Draper reveals the heartwarming story of Trocme's courage to resist Nazi power and the strong messages of pacifism that he taught to villagers during the German occupation of France. Every moment of Trocme's life became a spiritual one, an emphatically taught philosophy that he expressed during one of the most difficult periods in European history. Draper writes a detailed account of the life-saving actions taken by him and his wife Madga, and the efforts that they made to hide and rescue Jews from the Nazis.
