IN THE GARDEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust

This audiobook highlights Holocaust heroes--the unsung who tried in every way possible to save Jews from annihilation. Narrator Paul Heitsch's performance is excellent. He employs an intense emotional style to deliver 10 stories of non-Jewish people whose efforts to rescue Jews and others from the Nazis are the centerpiece of the audiobook. Heitsch's tone is ideal, always precisely on point, ranging in emotion from indignation to fear to compassion and to the unrelenting desire to help at a time when such efforts could be suicidal. Hurowitz chose his title carefully, recognizing that Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, honors many as the "Righteous Among the Nations." Hurowitz builds on these heroes, and his book benefits from Heitsch and the life he gives to all. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
