Description: Once a skinny and weak child, Italian Gino Bartali rose to become a Tour de France champion and one of cycling's greatest stars. But all that seemed unimportant when his country came under the grip of a brutal dictator and entered World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. Bartali might have appeared a mere bystander to the harassment and hatred directed toward Italy's Jewish people, but secretly he accepted a role in a dangerous plan to help them. Putting his own life at risk, Bartali used his speed and endurance on a bike to deliver documents that Jewish people needed to help them escape harm. His inspiring story reveals how one person could make a difference against violence and prejudice during the time of the Holocaust.

Review: Who knew that the same cyclist who's the only person to win the tour difference both before and after WWII also rescued jews while training? A great story that reminds how individuals can make a huge difference in fighting for what's right. Wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated.
