Product Description:
During the most terrible years of World War II, when inhumanity and political insanity held most of the world in their grip and the Nazi domination of Europe seemed irrevocable and unchallenged, a miraculous event took place in a small Protestant town in southern France called Le Chambon. There, quietly, peacefully, and in full view of the Vichy government and a nearby division of the Nazi SS, Le Chambon's villagers and their clergy organized to save thousands of Jewish children and adults from certain death.

This book takes an in-depth look into the village of le Chambon. Although I enjoyed the story, the way that it was written was unable to keep my attention for very long. The author writes more about the inner workings of the people and the village and why they did it. I know that some people like it because it is not your usual novel, w/ a beginning, middle, end, climax, etc, but it was just so slow that if I was not reading this for a class, I would not have been able to finish.

There is no real reason why this ... Read More

This is another must read not so much for its literary qualities (apologies to author) but for the story of a village who risked everything for strangers. Would we put our own children in harms way to shelter others? I hope so. Remember this book when you are an impatient driver away from thinking that we're all hopelessly selfish. And then do something kind.

The late Philip Hallie was a Jewish ethicist who became very depressed while studying the evils of the Holocaust. When he subsequently discovered the story of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon -- a village in southern France where Protestant pastor Andre Trocme led a rescue operation which saved thousands of Jews during WWII -- Hallie was completely and passionately intrigued and couldn't rest until he knew more.
After further research and some meetings with Magda Trocme, Andre's widow, Hallie culminated ... Read More

It is a good story. The author, an ethicist, has an interesting angle on it. But it takes him soooo many words to tell it. I gave up halfway through.
