Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust

Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust

In this brilliantly researched and insightfulÂ Â book, psychologist Eva Fogelman presents compellingÂ Â stories of rescuers of Jews during theÂ Â Holocaust--and offers a revealing analysis of theirÂ Â motivations. Based on her extensive experience as aÂ Â therapist treating Jewish survivors of the Holocaust andÂ Â those who helped them, Fogelman delves into theÂ Â psychology of altruism, illuminating why theseÂ Â rescuers chose to act while others simply stood by.Â Â While analyzing motivations, Conscience AndÂ Â Courage tells the stories of suchÂ Â little-known individuals as Stefnaia PodgorskaÂ Â Burzminska, a Polish teenager who hid thirteen Jews in herÂ Â home; Alexander Roslan, a dealer in the blackÂ Â market who kept uprooting his family to shelter threeÂ Â Jewish children in his care, as well as moreÂ Â heralded individuals such as Oskar Schindler, RaoulÂ Â Wallenberg, and Miep Gies. Speaking to the sameÂ Â audience that flocked to Steven Spielberg's AcademyÂ Â Award-winning movie, Schindler'sÂ Â List, Conscience And Courage is theÂ Â first book to go beyond the stories to answer theÂ Â question: Why did theyÂ Â help?
