| Rescued from the Reich: How One of Hitler's Soldiers Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe. By Bryan Mark Rigg. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004. xviii, 284 pp. $26.00, ISBN 0-300-10448-0.)
|
| After a half century of conjecture, this book clarifies the events, personalities, and motives that led to the rescue of the Lubavitch rebbe Joseph Schneersohn from Poland during the early months of World War II. It is also a continuation of Bryan Mark Rigg's earlier research into Mischlinge Jews in the Wehrmacht, as those sent to locate the rebbe and escort him abroad were officers of mixed German Jewish heritage. |
