Good Condition
Describes the rescue efforts of Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Jewish organizations during the Holocaust. Focuses on the activities of the Vaad ha-Hatzalah, set up in the USA in 1939 by Rabbi Eliezer Silver (assisted by Rabbis Aharon Kotler and Avraham Kalmanowitz), which devoted great efforts to the rescue of observant Jews, including prominent religious leaders and yeshiva students. Special attention is drawn to the attempts to "ransom" Hungarian Jews from the Nazis in 1944, one of the initiators of which was Slovakian Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandel. In Vol. I, pp. 151-180 discuss the work of George Mantello, an El Salvadoran diplomat and an Orthodox Jew, who provided Jews with Salvadoran protective papers. Pp. 181-228 deal with Recha Sternbuch, who managed to smuggle hundreds of Jews into Switzerland from the Reich and occupied France. In Vol. II, pp. 231-252 contain a brief summary of Holocaust events.
