- Summary
- "Leon Malmed's true story of his and his sister Rachel's escape from the Holocaust in Occupied France. When their father and mother were arrested in 1942, their ... French neighbors volunteered to watch their children until they returned. Leon's parents were taken first to Drancy, then to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and they never returned. Meanwhile their downstairs neighbors, Henri and Suzanne Ribouleau, gave the children a home and family and sheltered them through subsequent roundups, threats, air raids, and the war's privations ... Leon and Rachel each came to America after the war, but always kept their strongest ties to "Papa Henri and Maman Suzanne," who were honored as "Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem in 1977"--PDF page 4 of cover.
