Everyone knows the name of Anne Frank but few people remember anything about the people who sheltered her. Who were the rescuers and what motivated them to risk their lives for persecuted Jews? Clearly such people deserve to be remembered and honored. And clearly an understanding of their motivations may help us cultivate such behavior in our own day. Focusing on such "righteous Christians;" Tec; herself a survivor helped by Poles; vividly recreates what it was like to pass and hide among Christians and what it was like for Poles to rescue Jews. Concentrating on Poland; the Nazi center for Jewish annihilation; Tec amassed a vast array of published accounts; unpublished testimonies; and interviews; yielding case histories of over 500 Polish helpers; preserving for posterity the heroism of such people; and filling a significant gap in our knowledge of the Holocaust.

Nikolai Bukharin: A Political BiographyBy Emmett O'NeillIf interested in the Russian Revolution and how Stalin assumed complete power; this is a great read.Moreso though; it is an in depth look at Nikolai Bukharin; surely one of the most likeable and revered of the Bolshevik party leaders.Stalin feared Bukharin's popularity and had him arrested on ridiculous charges.The world was treated to a show trial and predictability; Bukharin was executed and shot.Bukharin was important as he was very close to Lenin and was in agreement with Lenin's New Economic Policy which allowed some capitalism on a small scale.Very few Russians in the latter years of the Soviet Union knew the person and reputation of Nikolai Bukharin.Dr. Stephen Cohen; in writing this; produced the first and definitive work on Bukharin. After Gorbachev came to power; it was translated to Russian and published.The interesting question of course; is what Russia wouldbhave become had Bukharin became the leader instead of Stalin. It still stands as the definitive political biography of Nikolai Bukharin. An excellent read.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
