Review Quotes:
Collomp (emer., Univ. of Paris, France) has written the definitive history of the New York-based Jewish Labor
Committee's resistance activities in the US and Europe from 1934 to 1945. She draws on archival material from two
continents and written in multiple languages to weave a complicated story in which both prominent and obscure figures
worked feverishly to save the victims of Nazism.
