The Surgeon and the Shepherd

During World War II, many ordinary people found themselves in heroic situations. One of these took place in the Basque village of Mendive and involved an unlikely partnership between a Belgian ophthalmologist and a Basque shepherd. A sawmill became a front to convey people and cargo to Spain. Thankfully this true story has been documented and will not be lost to time. Interested? In addition to being available on Goodreads, we will soon have a copy in our library.
