A friend among enemies : the incredible story of Arie Van Mansum in the Holocaust

"Arie Van Mansum was born and brought up in the Netherlands, one of four children in a devout Christian family. He had just celebrated his twentieth birthday in 1940 when Hitler's armies conquered his country in a five day blitzkrieg. It was not long before Arie became part of the Dutch underground, distributing the illegal newspaper Free Netherlands . When the Nazi authorities began deporting Dutch Jews to the east in the summer of 1942, Arie realized that these helpless victims were being sent to certain death. At the risk of his own life, he undertook the dangerous task of helping scores of Jewish men, women and children go into hiding with gentile families."--Book cover
