10 people who saved Jews during Holocaust
I believe that these people were "good" and saved the Jews because they felt a need to stand up to an oppressor. The oppressor in this case would be all of the Nazis the were perpetuating injustice during the Holocaust. These people can be somewhat related to Schindler, because just like Schindler they saved the lives of many Jews. Although I am unsure if Schindler ever came into serious danger, these people certainly risked their lives to save others. Here is the list of the people that saved some lives during the Holocaust.

I think these are the people we would like to see ourself as if we were in that situation. But what we have talked about many times, is that we don't actually know what we would do if we were ever in a situation like that; we can only hope. I think these people were the strongest ones during the Holocaust, and realized that one person could make a difference.
ReplyDeleteThese people were not just heros but they were also very brave. I have read quite a few books on the Holocaust and one that created very real images in my mind was the "Book Thief". It's hard to imagine that people had to actually hide or 'magically' disappear in order to survive. Fear was not only among the Jews during the late 1930's and 1940's but fear was lurking everywhere. One may be hiding a Jew and their neighbor could be hard core pro-Hitler ...if that secret is discovered not only is the Jew doomed but the upstanders as well. Doing the right thing was not easy, especially if your own life is in danger.
