Heroes of the Holocaust: Ordinary Britons who risked their lives to make a difference by Lyn Smith

4.0

This book gives a powerful and emotional insight on what happened before and during World War II. You get a glimpse of how people strive to survive amidst such brutalities, and how there are people who are kind enough to help them. These heroes did these despite all the possible dangers they would have faced, with a few of them actually having died doing these generous acts. However, the stories also showed how people act when they are given a sense of superiority, and how crowd mentality can be very dangerous, especially in the case of the Germans.

This is a highly recommended read not only for historic buffs, but also for those interested on how the human mind works when placed in very dire situations.
