Reseña del editor:

Toby learns the true meaning of heroism in light of the Holocaust. Toby Belfer, now a fifth grader, returns for another adventure in this middle reader. While on a trip to Israel, Toby and her friend Donna visit Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum. Here they learn about the Righteous Gentiles, great Christian men and women who sacrificed their safety and lives to help Jews during World War II. From the secret hiding places of Corrie ten Boom and the factories of Oskar Schindler to the Paper Clip Project undertaken by a group of extraordinary students in Whitwell, Tennessee, the girls are taken on an emotional, educational journey through history.

Contraportada:

When Toby Belfer visits Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem, she is struck by the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations, a tribute to Christians who risked their lives to save Jews during the nightmarish events of the Second World War. Toby learns about the true stories of twenty-six courageous Christian clergy, diplomats, farmers, shopkeepers, and even a German military officer in this emotional and inspiring testimonial to the six million Jewish martyrs who were killed in the Holocaust and the selfless guardians who strove to protect them.

"Toby Belfer teaches the young reader about the individual stories of true heroes in a personal and meaningful way. It is a must-read for young children so that they can better understand that one person, no matter what their background or position, can make a significant difference."
--Stephen A. Ollendorff, president, the Center of Interreligious Understanding, and author, Fate Did Not Let Me Go and The Brave Little Boat

"Gloria Pushker and Mel Tarman's new book is a fascinating journey through the lives of normal people who acted heroically during the Holocaust. The book touches on a subject that is too often ignored in the teaching of the Holocaust, the non-Jewish men and women who risked their lives and the lives of their families, to save Jews from extinction. The newest and most serious addition to the Toby Belfer Series is a must-have for any library or home, Jewish or non-Jewish."
--Philip Gaethe, director of education, Congregation Gates of Prayer
