Stories of Rescue | Holocaust Education | USHMM

Holocaust survivors describe their rescuers, and rescuers recall how and why they got involved. Though most people chose not to intervene as Nazis and their collaborators persecuted and killed Jews, rescuers opted to act by hiding victims, taking in their children, and assisting with escape. A small number of people from every European country-from all religious, ethnic, and political backgrounds-risked their lives to help Jews during the Holocaust.

This past horror should be taught in every school, everywhere. I believe in humanity but know the level of evil is still prevalent.

I agree!
The saddest thing is, the families and groups who committed the Holocaust, - are still very much alive and active 😪
Will Humanity ever learn???

The rescuers were extremely brave knowing that if they were caught by the Nazis both they and their families would either be shot or sent to concentration camps.
