"A fascinating book. . . . In this true-life tale of intrigue, danger, courage, and dedication the reader will encounter the names of many eminent people whose lives were saved by the USC."-Marcia Weiss Posner, Jewish Book World "Complementing recent historiography concentrated on the actions of relief workers in Displaced Person Camps after the war, Rescue & Flight is valuable, focused research on the important and relatively few efforts undertaken before and during the war to save lives."-Michal Shapira, Journal of Interdisciplinary History "Subak delivers well her intent to carve a respectable place for these workers' legacy. It is a must-read for Unitarians and scholars of contemporary religious history and WWII. Professors can also include it in their recommended reading lists."-Mark Chung Hearn, Religious Studies Review "This volume is not only a valuable contribution to Holocaust studies; with its blend of factual information, tensions, and intrigues, it is a fascinating read."-Suzanne Vromen, Holocaust and Genocide Studies
