Présentation de l'éditeur
Every genocide in history has been notable for the minority of brave individuals and groups who put their own lives at risk to rescue its would be victims. Based on three case studies - the genocides of the Armenians, the Jews and the Rwandese Tutsi - this book is the first international comparative and multidisciplinary attempt to make rescue an object of research, while breaking free of the notion of 'The Righteous Among the Nations'. The result is an exceptionally rich and disturbing volume. While it is impossible to distill or describe what makes an individual into a rescuer, acts of rescue reveal a historical fact: the existence of an informal, underground network of rescuers - however fragile - as soon as genocides get underway, and in every geographical and social context.
Revue de presse
'A unique offering among the literature on genocides - of the highest quality - the scholarship is impeccable.' ----Gerard Prunier, author of The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide
'Intellectually stimulating, engaging, and thought-provoking . . . the study offers a fresh analytical perspective and a novel set of cross- disciplinary questions about rescue. It includes impressive, first-class scholarship.' ----Slavic Review
