*Rescuers, like the Hubermanns in The Book Thief, are those, who at great personal risk, actively helped members of persecuted groups, primarily Jews, during the Holocaust in defiance of Third Reich policy. They were ordinary people who became extraordinary people because they acted with their own belief system while living in an immoral society.
