But as clouds of war gather, the stars of Continental opera, many of whom are Jewish, face dark futures under the Nazis.

By the time war did arrive, the Cooks and their operatives had plucked over two dozen Jewish men and women from the looming maw of the Holocaust and spirited them to safety in England.
