During the German occupation, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps.  Defying the occupying German forces, and protecting fellow citizens, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives.  First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways  Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany.\nSpecial attention is paid to the Norwegian resistance, the citizens of Denmark, the Swedish Red Cross, Raoul Wallenberg, and Count Folke Bernadotte.  Risking their own lives, their selfless acts of courage and compassion is a powerful example of how anyone can make a difference.\n
