Do you ever wonder what you would do if you were faced with the atrocities of WWII? I do! Would I have stood by as millions of innocent victims lost their lives at the hands of the Nazi regime? Or would I have been one of the brave souls fighting for their freedom—even at the risk of my own life?

Join me for a fascinating conversation with one of my favorite authors! Mark Buchanan’s newest novel is based on the true story of a tiny French village that sheltered over 2,500 Jewish refugees during World War II. In our conversation, Mark unpacks what motivated these ordinary people to choose radical hospitality over safety.
