50 Children

One Ordinary American Couple's Extraordinary Rescue Mission Into the Heart of Nazi Germany
Feb 11, 2016
A wonderful true story about a couple who rescues 50 Jewish children from Vienna in 1939 and brings them to the U.S. Based on an unpublished memoir from the grandmother of the author's wife, it recounts where the idea came from and the year of work by the couple and several of their friends to achieve a goal that everyone told them was "impossible". They had to get a few American officials on board (in an unofficial status only) and convince the Nazi's to let them take the children. The couple actually traveled to Germany and Austria and spent a month there during a very dangerous time in history to bring the children back. Well researched. Recommended by Linda
