The Unheeded Cry: The Gripping Story of Rabbi Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl, the Valian Holocaust Leader Who Battled Both Allied Indiffer (ArtScroll History)

A true accounting about details of the holocaust that they will not teach you in school. People like rav Waissmadle make you understand the meaning of the saying our sages - the the righteous are the foundation of the world.

This book has a special meaning for me since my grandfather Rabbi Joseph Brody was very close with Rabbi Weissmandel. It tells the tale of a Rabbi, who despite his heart condition risked his life to save many Jews from the gas chambers. He worked tirelessly on a plan to bomb the train tracks that lead to Auschwitz, but President Roosevelt unfortunately nixed this plan. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of the Holocaust. It is well written and well researched. (My grandfather's picture can be found on page 245.)

This is a must read for any student of the holocaust. Its full of proofs and documentation regarding hungarian jewry during the war. Rabbi Weismandel had no ulterior motives other than saving jews.
