TRIBUTE: The Twenty-third Mission: Recomended Reading

For an excellent book containing more stories of Dutch rescuers with articulate, insightful and often poetic commentary on the people and events of the Holocaust, I highly recommend:

From the State University of New York presentation:

From the Plainview-Old Bethpage Senior Citizen Club:

"Your presentation to our club on February 29, 2008 is one that our entire membership will treasure. The inspirational story of the heroic Dutch people who sheltered Ted from the German occupiers is a story which should not be allowed to fade...

This story needs to be told because it addresses the innate goodness of a few brave souls and is as relevant today as it was then. In our era their story is one that, hopefully, can inspire us to do the same.

It is vital that this presentation be given to as many people as possible."
