Lest Innocent Blood be Shed by Philip P Hallie

Lest Innocent Blood be Shed by Philip P Hallie

During the most terrible years of World War II, a time of violence and hate, when Nazi domination of Europe seemed inevitable, a miraculous event took place in a small Protestant town in southern France. There, in full view of the Vichy Government and a nearby division of the Nazi SS, Le Chambon's villagers and their clergy managed to save thousands of Jewish children and adults from certain death.

This uplifting story, written by philosophy professor and World War II veteran Philip Hallie, is a much-needed reminder that even under the most disastrous circumstances, bravery, hope and goodness cannot be utterly defeated.Philip P. Hallie (1922-1994) was professor emeritus of philosophy and the humanities at Wesleyan University. He served in World War II in the Army field artillery. He studied at Grinnell College in Iowa, Harvard University, and Jesus College, Oxford where he was a Fulbright scholar. His books include Skepticism, Man and God and The Paradox of Cruelty."After reading this book, one is compelled to think of The Sorrow and the Pity ... and the courage and the faith." -- New York Times Book Review
