About this ebook

Unknown Heroes are those ordinary men and women who demonstrated the ‘courage to care’ by protecting, assisting or sheltering victims of mass genocide. The stories of the ‘unknown heroes’ demonstrate that even in the darkest of times there will always be ordinary people who will stand up and place themselves at risk to protect others from prejudice and injustice, racism, bullying and discrimination.

Ratings and reviews

A lovely little collection of insipring stories such as the story with UN Captain Mbaye Diagne who was a true hero in Rwanda. PRIDE!
