Holocaust Hero: The Untold Story and Vignettes of Solomon Schonfeld, an Extraodinary British Orthodox Rabbi Who Rescued Four Thousand during the Holocaust

The charismatic rabbi of a small Orthodox congregation in London, Schonfeld escorted thousands of Jewish children, rabbis, teachers, and other religious functionaries to England between 1938 and 1948, providing them with kosher homes, Jewish educations, and jobs. He also created mobile synagogues that were the first to serve the spiritual and physical needs of the survivors in liberated areas. Kranzler's b&w-illustrated biography tells his story and includes 40 vignettes by individuals Schonfeld rescued. Kranzler is the author of nine books on the Holocaust.
