When Susan Elisabeth Subak discovered that members of the Unitarian
Church had helped her Jewish father immigrate to the United States,
she was unaware of the impact the organization had made during
World War II. After years of research, Subak uncovers the
little-known story of the Unitarian Service Committee, which
rescued European refugees during World War II, and the remarkable
individuals who made it happen. The Unitarian Service Committee was
among the few American organizations committed to helping refugees
during World War II. The staff who ran the committee assisted those
endangered by the Nazi regime, from famous writers and artists to
the average citizen. Part of a larger network of American relief
workers, the Unitarian Committee helped refugees negotiate the
official and legal channels of escape and, when those methods
failed, the more complex underground channels. From their offices
in Portugal and southern France they created escape routes through
Europe to the United States, South America, and England, and
rescued thousands, often at great personal risk.
