MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- One woman's discovery of how her grandparent's tiny Italian village defied the Nazis and risked all to shelter - and ultimately save - generations of Jews during the Holocaust ... and the incredible journey that followed.

People absolutely loved to talk in the Italian village Elizabeth Bettina spent her summers in as a child. Mysteriously enough however, there was one thing she'd, in all her years, never heard--that during the Holocaust, hundreds of Jews were sheltered by the Catholics that comprised the tiny village of Campagna. They'd risked their own lives to hide them from the Nazis.

Over half a century later, and half a world away, Elizabeth discovered not only this---but that many of those Jews and their children and grandchildren were living within minutes of her own front door.

Follow her amazing journey to find them, tell their stories, and reconnect them with each other and this defining time and place in their lives as she takes them back to Italy ... where they'd stand face to face with both the Pope and their past.
