May 6, 2017 - Two Among the Righteous Few: A Story of Courage in the Holocaust (Second Edition), a book by Marty Brounstein, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Two Among the Righteous Few: A Story of Courage in the Holocaust (Second Edition) is the remarkable tale of how Frans and his wife, Mien, saved the lives of at least two dozen Jews in southern Holland during World War II. They were Catholics who led a simple life in a small town, but they took risks and displayed bravery to help others in dire need, instilling hope during one of the most horrific points of history.

Nestled in the hills on the western side of Jerusalem is a museum called Yad Vashem. There, people from around the world visit daily to learn about the tragic period of history from 1933 to 1945 known as the Holocaust. The museum serves as an education, research, and historical center in remembrance of the six million Jews across Europe who were murdered at the hands of the Nazi Party machine led by Adolf Hitler. A special section of Yad Vashem is dedicated to those who carried out acts of courage to save the lives of Jews during the Holocaust. Remembered there is the couple from Dieden of the Netherlands, Frans and Mien Wijnakker.
