Tens of millions of men, women and children were killed during WWII, most simply because of who they were -- ethnic, religious and sexual minorities, the disabled, the elderly. Each of their stories is unique, and unfortunately, we'll never know the vast majority of those stories. There were also rescuers and those who opposed the evil and helped the victims. Those stories, too, are unique and precious -- and we don't know nearly enough of them. This anthology collects short narratives of several teenagers who helped.
