Paper Candles: How Courage and Goodness Triumphed in an American Town recounts the unforgettable true story of events that occurred in Billings, Montana, when a group of bigots targeted the town's tiny Jewish population for acts of hate during the 1993 Christmas and Hanukkah season. Inspired by the 1943 rescue of the Danish Jews by their Christian fellow citizens in Nazi occupied Denmark, town residents of all colors and religions came together to take a stand in a way that has become a model for communities across the nation.
