This incredible book has been called "a stirring chapter to documented Jewish resistance to the Holocaust." Wilhelm Bachner has been called "the Jewish Schindler" because of his heroics in saving hundreds of Jewish families from almost certain annihilation in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1939. The authors interviewed Bachner in 1983, and did extensive historical research.

Narrow escapes defines Samuel Oliner's life in more ways than one. Not only is he a Holocaust survivor who barely eluded the genocidal "Final Solution" that Nazi Germany unleashed on the European Jews during the Second World War, but Oliner is also a ground-breaking Holocaust scholar who has focused attention on the rescuers - small in number but immensely significant nonetheless - who risked their lives to give Jews narrow life-saving escapes during those dark times. Oliner's personal experience of the Holocaust produced memories that have never left him. Oliner's significant epilogue in this new edition both updates his story and and helps to show how his narrow escape led to a remarkable career.

"Samuel P. Oliner's exploration of The Nature of Good and Evil is informed by his grasp of history, his mastery of sociology and the authority of his own experience as one who as a young child of the Holocaust experienced the nature of both good and evil when he was rescued by a Polish non-Jew at the risk of her life. In this work, by concentrating on the Holocaust, the Armenian and Rawandan genocides, Oliner has further solidified his well deserved reputation as a scholar of insight and discernment into an area often left to philosophers and theologians and he has enriched our vocabulary to comprehend both good and evil while enlarging our moral imagination. This is a valuable contribution to the field of research and an even more valuable contribution to moral discourse in our age of atrocity."--Mich'l Berenbaum, author of After Tragedy and Triumph.
