A forgotten hero : Folke Bernadotte, the Swedish humanitarian who rescued 30,000 people from the Nazis / Shelley Emling. by Emling, Shelley, author. Toronto, Ontario, Canada : ECW Press, [2019] Subjects Bernadotte, Folke, 1895-1948.   Diplomats -- Sweden -- Biography.   Philanthropists -- Sweden -- Biography.   Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)   World War, 1939-1945 -- Jews -- Rescue -- Germany.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Concentration camps -- Germany. ISBN:  9781770414495 (hardcover) : 1770414495 (hardcover) : Description:  253 pages, 30 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "In one of the most amazing rescues of WWII, the Swedish head of the Red Cross rescued more than 30,000 people from concentration camps in the last three months of the war. Folke Bernadotte did so by negotiating with the enemy--shaking hands with Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Gestapo. Time was of the essence, as Hitler had ordered the destruction of all camps and everyone in them. A Forgotten Hero chronicles Folke's life and extraordinary journey, from his family history and early years to saving thousands of lives during WWII and his untimely assassination in 1948. A straightforward and compelling narrative, A Forgotten Hero sheds light on this important and heroic historical figure."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53183 Bernadotte Em   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Bernadotte Em   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Bernadotte Em Katz Collection Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Bernadotte Em   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Bernadotte Em   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
