This month's selection: The Righteous by Ronald H BALSON

By the end of 1943, nearly all of Europe's Jewish population had fled, been deported, captured, or killed by Hitler. Only Hungary, and its almost 900,000 Jews, remained free from Hitler's subjugation. They lived under government edicts and restrictions but without fear of harm. That changed in March 1944, after Hitler conquered Hungary and declared his plan for mass extermination of the Jewish people. In this dramatic new novel, The Righteous, Theresa Weissbach, a professor at the University of Michigan, hasn't heard from her parents in Budapest for over a year. Her best friend joins with her to locate and rescue Theresa's family. While there, with Theresa’s father, they become involved in a much larger cause, trying to save as many people as they can. Working alongside the newly formed US War Refugee Board, diplomats from neutral nations, and leaders of underground rescue organizations, Julia and Theresa and others to take enormous risks in an effort to save thousands of innocent lives.
