"...The five of us survivors proceeded to shake the hands of the heroes who had worked together to bring us to safety...It was admirable how these French Resistance fighters had planned, organized and improvised our escape. They had risked their lives, their families, and their livlihoods for us. It moved me deeply that, in a time of betrayal and selfishness, there were still decent, courageous human beings who fought dictatorship and persecution in the best way they could- by helping others reach freedom."
From Pieter Kohnstam's book, A Chance to Live: A Family's Journey to Freedom. Above quote from page 108.
