An incredible and dramatic history of Lviv’s Solid shoe factory near Rynok Square—where, during the Holocaust, monks of the Studio Order (with Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky’s blessing) hid Jewish refugees. Historian Yuriy Skira chronicles the life of Fr. Joseph Peters, the “Lviv Schindler,” whose clandestine enterprise became a beacon of rescue amid Nazi terror. This 224-page Ukrainian-language hardcover blends rigorous archival research, personal testimonies, and cultural context to illuminate a remarkable story of faith, resistance, and human solidarity
