This inspiring book takes place against the terrible backdrop of the Holocaust and documents Raoul Wallenberg’s heroics in saving Jews from certain death at the hands of the Nazis. Non-graphic factual information includes Jews being grabbed from their homes, starved, beaten, deported via cattle cars, drowned in the Danube, and shot may affect young readers, particularly those unfamiliar with Holocaust history.
Talk it Over!
Raoul Wallenberg was only one man, and yet he saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis. What do you think gave him the courage to do what he did?
More for You
The Talmud (Mishna Sanhedrin 4:5) says: He who has saved one life, it is as if he has saved an entire world. We can learn three important life lessons from this statement. First, the obvious: saving human life is paramount. Second, no one life is more valuable than another: just as humanity was created from a single man, Adam, none can say that his ancestors are greater than someone else’s (since we are all descended from the same person.) And if the saving of one life is equivalent to saving an entire world, then we can also extrapolate that the world was created for our individual sake and behave accordingly.
