"Rabbi, is it wrong to fight?" From the lips of a boy in Baltimore facing a gauntlet of bullies on the way to Hebrew School... To a son losing his father to needless violence at a kibbutz in Palestine... To one of several brothers forced to drive supply trucks in Nazi-occupied Poland... The answer to this question will bring them together in a daring plot. After receiving news their extended family in Poland is gone, a simple accountant-once denied enlistment after Pearl Harbor-answers his father's prayer for someone to help and volunteers to fight on a different battlefield. With Nazis and Polish police marching the streets, injustice and danger lurk around every corner. While pockets of resistance race to smuggle hidden Jews to safety, a relentless enemy is nipping at their heels, determined to dismantle their network completely. Who can they trust? And then a daring plan is hatched to hijack a train destined for Auschwitz, coordinating the rescue of hundreds in a single act. From the streets of Baltimore to the villages of Poland to the shores of Palestine, heroes with no names arose to save their people
