Assignment: Rescue

by Varian Fry, Albert O. Hirschman (Introduction)

Overview

Marseilles, France…August, 1940 The Gestapo's blacklist was thousands of names long…How many people could he get out before Hitler sealed the frontiers? Varian Fry didn't know any more about being an undercover agent than what he'd seen in the movies. But, he was the one man who could get into Vichy France, where thousands of people had fled Hitler's Germany. Unless he could get them out, they'd be trapped-turned back to the concentration camps and death camps. An exciting, true story of World War II - Varian Fry describes the methods he used to get thousands of hunted men and women to safety.
