50 Children: One Ordinary American Couple's Extraordinary Rescue Mission into the Heart of Nazi Germany by Steven Pressman. “This non-fiction book is an unbelievable testament to the amazing things that some people will do to help others in desperate times. Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus were a prominent Philadelphia Jewish couple that traveled into Nazi Germany and Austria to save Jewish children. They worked through all levels of US Government to get the appropriate visas and paperwork, and risked their own lives to travel through Europe and meet with Nazi officials. At the time, there was significant backlash from other refugee and Jewish groups that had not been as successful in bringing people safely to the US. An inspiring story at any time, but especially at this point in our nation's political climate when there are so many refugee groups trying to gain entry.”
