Heroes of the Holocaust: True Stories of Rescues by Teens

The amazing life-saving book, Heroes of the Holocaust by Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun is a 183 page book has heart pounding stories of teens who have saved many Jews lives during the Holocaust. These teens have risked their life to save others, and some were even Jews helping Jews such as one of the Jewish teens who saved peoples’ lives named Ferenc. He helped other Jewish people by making them fake IDs with his sister’s husband, Béla. He risked his life, but the thing is he also is Jewish. This book isn’t just focused on one story, but many. There are many endings to all of these stories, and they are mostly happy endings. This book is true and very rememborable.
