YA-A Holocaust survivor himself, Geier collects and retells 28 uplifting accounts of those who lived because of the unselfish deeds of others. Horrific experiences are described, but the narratives create lasting impressions that affirm a belief that there is much goodness in the world.

Book Description
"...of undeniable importance, movingly described." -Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate A book of scope and power, Heroes of the Holocaust tells of ordinary people who confronted the brutality of the holocaust with acts of unselfish courage. Among these are: a Jewish family saved by personal intervention by a German general; a ship's captain who dumped his cargo to make room for 600 Jews; and a father, grieving over the sudden death of his only son, who gave his child's name and identity papers to a Jewish boy in order to save the child's life. These moving stories reveal points of light amidst the horror of the Holocaust, to offer tales of inspiration and hope.
