- Summary
- The story of a French village that helped save thousands hunted by the Gestapo during World War II, told in full for the first time. With unprecedented access to newly opened archives in France, Britain, and Germany, and interviews with some of the villagers from the period who are still alive, Moorehead paints an inspiring portrait of courage and determination: of what was accomplished when a small group of people banded together to oppose their Nazi occupiers.
