This was an excellent story/essay about an American (Varian Fry) who put his life on the line to save European Jews before America entered WWII. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning.Fry was a hero, an unsung hero, but then WWII gave us many unsung heroes and heroines. Thankfully, Fry's story is at last coming to light.The public often wants to put outstanding individuals on pedestals, but heroes and heroines are only human--and flaws are what define humans. Like most others that rise above the occasion, they too have feet of clay. Perhaps that is what makes their valor all the more impressive.
