Very informative and interesting. Ruth Gruber is quite a woman, and an excellent writer.

Interesting and inspiring, this untold story of the efforts to save a few people from the Holocaust needs to be more widely known. I’m so glad I got to read it.

Fascinating piece of history that I really didn't know anything about. Then, imagine my surprise when I was reading the list of names of refugees and "where they are now" and I knew one of them! Never knew she'd been through all this. Well written, easy read and interesting.

The story of Ruth Gruber escorting 1000 refugees from Europe to America in the last throes of WWII. The personal stories of survival of man of the refugees are compelling and devastating, but the book drags on with the slow grinding wheels of government as the State dept, Interior, Justice, and Congress all argue of the legal status of the people who have no home or family to return to.
