( Details ) ISBN: 1552635120 Published: January 2003 | Published by Key Porter Books Ltd From the Publisher According to Jewish tradition, “Whoever saves one life, it is as if he saved the entire world.” Non-Jews who helped save Jewish lives during World War II are designated Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust archive in Jerusalem. In The Righteous, distinguished historian Sir Martin Gilbert, through extensive interviews, explores the courage of those who throughout Germany and in every occupied country from Norway to Greece, from the Atlantic to the Baltic—took incredible risks to help Jews whose fate would have been sealed without them. Indeed, many lost their lives for their efforts. Those who hid Jews included priests, nurses, teachers, neighbours and friends, employees and colleagues, soldiers and diplomats, and, above all, ordinary citizens. From Greek Orthodox Princess Alice of Greece, who hid Jews in her home in Athens, to the Ukrainian Uniate Archbishop of Lvov, who hid hundreds of Jews in his churches and monasteries, to Muslims in Bosnia and Albania, many risked, and lost, everything to help their fellow man. About the Author Sir Martin Gilbert, the Churchill biographer, is the author of eight books on Holocaust themes, a subject on which he has been writing for forty years. His work on The Righteous took him to many countries and archives, and to considerable correspondence with both those who were rescued and those who rescued them. In 1995 he was knighted “for services to British history and international relations.” In 1999 he was awarded a Doctorate of Literature by the University of Oxford for the totality of his published work. Sir Martin Gilbert has written more than sixty acclaimed books including with Key Porter, Israel—A History and Jews in the 20th Century.
