Jews that stayed in Germany were captured and taken to the concentration camps. Many people stood by and did nothing but Frank Holey risked his life, because he thought about the situation as in “What if I was in that situation, I would want someone to help save me.” So obviously, he was brave and he could not sit back and know that innocent people were going to die.
