"Dr. Grobman's book alternately shocks and exhilarates. His telling research reveals that the silence and paralysis that characterized much of the behavior of American Jewish leadership during the Nazi era extended into the crucial months after liberation. . . . Fortunately, one group of young men stepped into the breach. US. Army chaplains whose experience rarely extended beyond conservative, orthodox, or reformed pulpits—managed to save thousands of lives... These rabbis provided real leadership at a time when designated leaders provided lame excuses for inaction. Dr. Grobman is owed a debt of gratitude for introducing us to American Jewry's unsung heroes."
