About this book
“It is certainly safe to say that Three Heroes of Assisi in World War II will be an eye-opener to the reader with even a small taste for history.” — Warren J. Rouse, OFM
During the German occupation of Italy, Assisi sheltered hundreds of Jews and refugees and was spared destruction. This book tells the story of three men who made it possible: Bishop Giuseppe Placido Nicolini, the German commandant Colonel Valentin Müller, MD, and the Assisi priest Don Aldo Brunacci.
Josef Raischl, OFS, and André Cirino, OFM, gather the accounts of reputable historians and witnesses into an almost seamless narrative. First published in Assisi by Editrice Minerva.
