This book review looks at genocide and the moral dilemmas surrounding it. Hallie's book is about the moral heroism of this small town called Chambon-sur-Lignon. During the German occupation of France, a period during which Jews were being extinguished by the Nazi genocide machine, the people in this town saved the lives of thousands of Jewish refugees. Thus, even in the midst of such human cruelty, Hallie shows that there was still the light of goodness in many humans' hearts. But throughout the book, he struggles with the dilemma over whether good can prevail over such tremendous evil. 3 pgs. 0 f/c. 1b.
