Shedding Our Stars: The Story of Hans Calmeyer and How He Saved Thousands of Families Like Mine

From his post at the headquarters of the German occupation during World War II, Hans Calmeyer surreptitiously saved thousands of Jewish lives in the Netherlands. Here, Laureen Nussbaum describes how Calmeyer declared her mother non-Jewish and deleted her and her family from the deportation lists--and traces the arc of both her life and Calmeyer's in the aftermath of the war.
