Toby Belfer Learns about Heroes and Martyrs

Toby learns the true meaning of heroism in light of the Holocaust. Toby Belfer, now a fifth grader, returns for another adventure in this middle reader. While on a trip to Israel, Toby and her friend Donna visit Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum. Here they learn about the Righteous Gentiles, great Christian men and women who sacrificed their safety and lives to help Jews during World War II. From the secret hiding places of Corrie ten Boom and the factories of Oskar Schindler to the Paper Clip Project undertaken by a group of extraordinary students in Whitwell, Tennessee, the girls are taken on an emotional, educational journey through history.
