Saving the forsaken

Description

"In this book Pearl M. Oliner examines data on Protestant and Catholic rescuers and nonrescuers of Jews during the Holocaust." "Drawing on interviews with more than five hundred Christians and on statistical analysis, Oliner compares the values and attitudes of Protestant and Catholic very religious, irreligious, and moderately religious rescuers and nonrescuers living in Nazi-occupied Europe. She presents several case studies of rescuers and nonrescuers within each group, all illustrative in some important ways of the group generally as compared with other groups and of rescuers and nonrescuers within the same group."--BOOK JACKET.
