"During the German occupation of France, twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children?" (from back cover description)

A short and powerful story. This is one that truly impacted our family! Highly recommend!
