Heroes of the Holocaust: Ordinary Britons Who Risked Their Lives to Make a Difference by Lyn Smith
4.0
Heroes of the Holocaust is an interesting take on Holocaust non fiction. It focuses on the 27 people who were awarded a medal by the British government in 2010 for feats of bravery and heroism during the Second World War to assist victims of the Holocaust.
The book so divided into the areas of the world which these individuals operated which makes the book an easy read although it is oftentimes uncomfortable due to the subject matter.
It was a very engaging read although it felt that you barely scratched the surface of the individuals who were intensely brave in circumstances where most people did very little.
Evil triumphs when good men do nothing and these men and women did everything they possibly could. In a sense it is a honour to read about them.
