I received a free Kindle copy of Rescue Board by Rebecca Erbelding courtesy of Net Galley  and Doubleday, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.

I requested this book as I have read a number of books on World War II, but none devoted solely to efforts by the United States to help save the Jews from the Holocaust.  It is the first book by Rebecca Erbelding that I have read.

This book is well researched and well written. The author's writing style makes this book easy to follow and hard to put down. She covers the United States involvement in helping Jews escape Nazi Germany from the early days of World War II were littl to nothing was done to the rush near the end of the war to help at least some escape. She does a very good job of protraying the frustration and patience that the Rescue Board and others had to endure to accomplish assistance to those trapped in Naxi Germany. She also outlines the creativity that they utilized to assist those who were trapped.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the role that the United States played in helping to free some of the Jews who were destined for elimination in the concentration camps.
