COVER STORY: Rescuing Marc Chagall from the Nazis
Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, has a name for those who risked their own lives to save others: The Righteous Among the Nations. One American who received that distinction was Varian Fry, who helped organize artist Marc Chagall's escape from France, for both him and his paintings. Lee Cowan talks with the descendants of Chagall and Fry; Debórah Dwork, author of "Saints and Liars: The Story of Americans Who Saved Refugees from the Nazis"; and Nick Davis, whose film "This Ordinary Thing" bring to life 45 extraordinary stories of those who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, people who "felt like it was their duty."

WORLD: Behind the scenes of Shen Yun
For two decades, Shen Yun has presented Chinese history and culture through sweeping dance and soaring music, offering what it describes as a vision of "China before communism." Run by the spiritual movement Falun Gong, the production now faces lawsuits alleging forced labor and untreated injuries. Correspondent Lisa Ling speaks with former performers who say they lived in fear as child laborers; and with Shen Yun leaders who dispute those claims and, for the first time, granted access inside their guarded headquarters, Dragon Springs.

SUNDAY PROFILE: The adventures of Lauren Hutton, the original supermodel
She didn't set out to be a model, or an actress, and several agencies rejected the gap-toothed Lauren Hutton, before Eileen Ford gave her a shot. As the face of Revlon, Hutton became the highest-paid model in history, and still holds the record for most cover appearances on American Vogue. She talks with Anthony Mason about her adventurous life of no regrets – from living among the bushmen of the Kalahari, to a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 2000. Even of the low points she says, "I'd do it again in a second."
