New Details on Bombings & Political Repercussions - Who is the Chelsea bomber and did he have help?

Defying the Nazis: An Untold Holocaust Story - Back in 1939, Waitstill and Martha Sharp left their children behind in Massachusetts to rescue refugees and dissidents from the Nazis. Over the course of two years, the Sharps would save more than 130 people from the horrors of the Holocaust. Despite their heroics, the Sharps' story remained largely untold for decades. Now it is coming to light as part of a documentary co-directed by their grandson and the filmmaker Ken Burns. Defying the Nazis: The Sharps' War makes its PBS premiere tonight at 9 p.m. on THIRTEEN.
