When Kiwi airman John Sanderson was shot down over Laines-aux-Bois in 1944, the Patirs family chose to shelter him. A local doctor called in to treat his wounds made a different choice, betraying them all to the Gestapo. Based on letters, journals, military records and personal accounts, this inspiring book examines what it means to be human when everything we value is taken away.--Book cover.
