IN DEFIANCE OF HITLER:
THE SECRET MISSION OF VARIAN FRY

This book tells the true story of Varian Fry who was a Harvard educated journalist who went to Marseilles, France in 1940 and rescued more than 2000 predominantly Jewish refugees before they could be arrested by the Nazis. He helped many famous people out of Europe including Marc Chagal, Max Ernst, Heinrich Mann.

Varian Fry was the first of only three Americans to be honored at the Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
