The Hand of Compassion: Portraits of Moral Choice During the Holocaust Paperback - 2006

First line
THE SPEAKER IS MARGOT, one of the German-born rescuers of Jews in Nazi Europe interviewed as part of the research for this book.
From the jacket flap
"Infrequently does one read a book that clearly stands as a major contribution to its field. Even less frequently does such a book manage to speak lucidly and intelligibly to two worlds--academia and the general public. In presenting a new theory--of identity and perspective--to help understand the actions of rescuers during the Holocaust, Professor Monroe offers us not only a compelling explanation but one that is at the same time as emotionally moving as it is intellectually persuasive. This is an extraordinary achievement."--David Easton, coauthor of "Children in the Political System"
"Monroe's very well written argument is advanced and justified by the five individual first-person narratives, gripping in their microdetail, at the heart of this book. I couldn't put the book down."--Susanne Hoeber Rudolph, University of Chicago, author of "Reversing the Gaze"
"Monroe's accounts of the rescuers are gripping and valuable. She is a sensitive interviewer who gets the most out of her subjects, and her analysis yields some unique conclusions about the theory of morality."--Robert E. Lane, Yale University, author of "The Loss of Happiness in Market Democracies"
