Varian Fry is a World War II hero that few know about but everyone should. He went to France in June 1940 for a month, stayed over a year, and rescued close to 2,000 people from the Nazis -- people who included Marc Chagall, Wanda Landowska, Andre Breton, among many others. He wasn't trained as and never had worked as a spy or secret agent, but when he arrived in France he found that legal means for getting these people out of France were few, and they became fewer each day.

This edition was published in conjunction with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. I believe the intended audience for this edition was school children, and I also believed they cut a considerable amount from the original. That original, on the other hand, was no where to be found on the internet except maybe for a collector's price. ( )
