Review Quotes:

"Combines solid historical research with the tension of a spy novel. In the vein of Schindler's List, A Good Place to Hide is an inspiring account of the extraordinary courage of ordinary people."--Shelf Awareness

"An enlightening story. A fascinating account of how, in a time when decency was in short supply, on the plateau it triumphed."--The American Jewish World

"This is a beautifully written tribute to their community and an outstanding contribution to Holocaust literature." --Booklist (starred review)

"Peter Grose tells this story well. It reads like a thriller, but it is a well-researched book. An excellent addition to history collections in all libraries."--The Jewish Book Council
