Synopsis
Telefilm depicting two stories from the book "Rescuers: Portraits of Moral Courage in the Holocaust," involving the courageous efforts of non-Jews who risked their lives to rescue victims of the Holocaust. The first story focuses on Gertruda Babilinska, a Polish Catholic housekeeper who devoted her life to raising and protecting a young Jewish boy, Mickey. The second story introduces Marie-Rose Gineste, a French woman who slowly finds herself assisting the Resistance movement by delivering underground pamphlets from town to town on her bicycle and who later hides Jews from Nazi persecution.
