Shedding our stars : the story of Hans Calmeyer and how he saved thousands of families like mine
2019
"During the German occupation of the Netherlands, 1940 to 1945, all Jews were ordered to register the religion of their grandparents. The Reichskommissar appointed the young lawyer Hans Calmeyer to adjudicate "doubtful cases." Calmeyer used his assignment to save at least 3,700 Jews from deportation and death, dwarfing the number saved by Schindler's famous rescue operation."--Back cover. Includes bibliographical references. 251 pages ; illustrations, portraits ; 22 cm
