The World Entire
Everyone knows Oskar Schindler and his famous list, but few have heard of Aristides de Sousa Mendes―a Portuguese diplomat who saved the lives of thousands in World War II. This magnificently illustrated picture book biography tells a moving story that resonates profoundly today. "He who saves a single life, saves the world entire." --The Talmud Here is the true and powerful story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, who, against his government's commands, helped refugees flee France to escape the Nazis by granting visas that allowed them entry to Portugal. In one of the greatest individual acts of rescue in World War II, Mendes saved many thousands of people, including the artist Salvador Dal穩; H.A. and Margret Rey, the creators of Curious George; professors of medicine, biology, and physics who would go on to teach in America; and thousands of others whose lives are less known but no less precious. He and his family paid dearly for it, but Aristides never regretted his actions, believing to the very end of his life that every life is worth saving. EXTRAORDINARY HISTORICAL NONFICTION: Over twenty-three days in 1940, Aristides de Sousa Mendes committed an incredible act of heroism, defying his government's orders and putting his family's lives in peril to do what he felt he must. "I could not have acted otherwise," he is quoted as saying. In the first book for children about this extraordinary individual, beautifully crafted text and vivid illustrations combine to illuminate a little-known story that deserves to be told. GREAT FOR CLASSROOMS: This picture book biography is an outstanding resource for reading lists and lesson plans, complete with informative backmatter. It offers a new window into teaching about WWII, the Holocaust, and the power of civil disobedience.
