Beschrijving
Explores forbidden acts of kindness, such as sharing scarce clothing and food rations, holding up weakened fellow prisoners during roll call, secretly replacing an ailing friend in an exhausting work detail etc. Explores the motivation behind this dangerous behaviour, how it differed when in or out of sight, who provided and undermined forbidden care, the difference of care between men and women, how and why gentiles aided forbidden care attempts, and, most importantly, how might its current and costly obscurity soon be corrected?
