Varian Fry was my Latin teacher in high school. I stumbled upon a book he wrote about his time in Europe during World War 2. I was truly amazed and in awe of the work he had done to get these people out of Europe. He was my hero and I will never forget him.
Excellent! The only small quibble is that I kept waiting for mention of Albert O. Hirschmann, a German Jew who helped Fry get people out of France, and who also became an important 20th century economist and intellectual.

Me, too. I'm here after watching Transatlantic on Netflix
Did Mr.' Hirschmann leave? If not, did he somehow survive?
Great man
Wow! I read some of those scholars and writers whom he saved, including Hannah Arendt, Heinrich Mann, Andre Breton and Victor Serge
Perfect compliment to the new Netflix series, thank you
Read Villa Arbel. Much
Much better than the Netflix film
