How many people would risk their life for a book? In 1942, a group of Jewish scholars did exactly that. During World War II, they placed their lives in danger by secretly hiding thousands of important papers and art. Germany’s Nazi Party had decided these historical documents were not worth keeping and planned to destroy them. But, to the Paper Brigade, these books and papers were treasures that needed to be saved. And they were willing to risk it all. This is the story of the Paper Brigade and its daring plan to rescue history.  About Honest History Honest History creates award-winning books, magazines, and this show for young historians across the world.
