"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS -- The Children of Chabannes (DVD)

Kassie's pick is The Children of Chabannes (DVD-documentary)

Synopsis:  From 1939 to 1942, more than 400 Jewish children were kept safe from Nazis in the small French village of Chabannes. This powerful documentary follows two of the now fully grown youths who were rescued from the Holocaust as they return to the town. Reflecting upon their experiences there, they analyze how the members of the community opened their hearts to them--despite the considerable risk.

Kassie says:  I can't imagine not feeling happier, richer, more alive, grateful and hopeful after spending time with these people.  "It's not about the mystery of evil, it's about...the mystery of good."  --Staney Kauffman, The New Republic.
