Stories of Deliverance by Marek Halter pays homage to the one half of one percent of civilians who rescued during the Shoah. He interviews rescuers like Irena Sendler, a social worker who managed to smuggle children out of the Warsaw Ghetto and place them in hundreds of homes. The author is also the film maker of the French film "Tzedek: The Just." He believes that studying the just, the rescuers, is important-- to share role models to prevent evil from taking hold again.

"It should have been said a long time ago, said loud and strong: in these times dominated by bullies and killers, that there are some individuals who allow us not to despair of humanity, some men and some women who did not hesitate to risk death in order to save lives."
