Friendships that Saved Lives during the Holocaust

When Pennsylvanian teen Jane Bomberger and American exchange student Robert Harlan learned about Nazi persecution of Jews, they wanted to take action. They were able to help their friends flee Nazi Germany and Austria. Assistance from abroad was vital because few people could afford to obtain the necessary paperwork and permissions needed to emigrate from Nazi-occupied Europe in the 1930s.
