"He who saves a single human life saves the entire universe."

What do you do when you see your friends, your neighbors, your teachers,
and your classmates being taken away by Nazi soldiers? For Jaap Penraat
there was no choice. He knew he must act quickly as the Nazis tightened
their stranglehold on Amsterdam's Jewish community. While many around
him gave up their honor, dignity, and principles in the face of the Nazi
terror, Jaap kept his head and searched for a way to beat the Nazis at
their own game. Using his creativity, and counting on his own
"chutzpah", he arrived at a daring scheme.
In FORGING FREEDOM Hudson Talbott tells this true story of how Jaap Penraat rescued over 400 people during one of the darkest periods in human history. |
