Description
Covers the story of a French Capuchin priest, Pere Marie-Benoit, who risked everything to hide and save Jews in France and Italy during the Holocaust. First from a monastery in Marseille and later in Rome, Pere Marie-Benoit worked with Jewish co-conspirators to build remarkably effective Jewish-Christian rescue networks.
