In July 1938, world leaders met at Évian-les-Bains to discuss the plight of European Jews. The US, Great Britain, and thirty other nations turned their backs—condemning millions to the Holocaust.

‘Silence in the Shadows’ by Tony Matthews is both a chilling reminder of that failure and a tribute to the extraordinary individuals and organisations who risked everything to save lives.
