Philip Hallie argues in his book "Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed" that even though cruelty may seem overwhelming, it can be defeated through individual actions of kindness and compassion. He uses the example of the villagers of Le Chambon during the Holocaust who saved thousands of Jewish lives by opening their homes and schools to them. Hallie's message is that acts of goodness can triumph over acts of cruelty.
