Recounts the heroic efforts of Varian Fry (born in New York in 1907), who arranged the escape from Vichy France of at least 1,500 anti-Nazi political figures, intellectuals, artists, writers, and Jews in 1940-41. Working covertly in Marseille as a representative of the Emergency Rescue Committee, Fry outwitted the Gestapo and the antisemitic and/or collaborationist Vichy bureaucrats and police. He was often opposed by the U.S. State Department, both in terms of its reluctance to grant visas, especially to Jews, and the personal antisemitism of U.S. State Department personnel, high and low, in the U.S. and in France. Fry's anti-Nazism and anti-antisemitism can be traced to a pogrom he witnessed in Berlin in 1935. When Fry was forced to leave France, his staff continued the rescue work, with some of them playing important roles in the resistance. Fry was the only American to be recognized as a Righteous Gentile by Yad Vashem. Although he rescued many "ordinary" people, he is often remembered for saving many celebrities (e.g. Heinrich Mann, Franz and Alma Werfel, Lion Feuchtwanger, Marc Chagall, and Hannah Arendt), whose contributions made America the postwar cultural capital of the world.
