Moussa Abadi was only 33, and his wife, Odette Rosenstock, 28, when they found themselves trapped in Nazi-occupied France. This young Jewish couple hid Jewish children in Catholic schools and convents and with Protestant families. Drawn from a multitude of sources, including hundreds of documents in the Abadis' archives and dozens of interviews with the now grown children they rescued, Fred Coleman tells the Abadis' full story for the first time.
