ISBN:  9781541619852 (hc.) Alternate title:  Forgotten story of the Holocaust's most audacious rescue operation Edition:  1st ed. Description:  339 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable -- and until now, completely unknown -- humanitarian operation. In concert with Jewish activists, they masterminded a systematic program of forging passports and identity documents that were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust. With the international community failing to act, the operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war. 'The Forgers' tells this extraordinary story for the first time. We follow the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these lifesaving documents as the Nazi death machine drew ever closer. And we witness the quiet heroism of a group of ordinary men who decided to do something rather than nothing and sought to save thousands of lives."--Jacket. Genre:  Biographies.
