"You can't let people be treated in an inhuman way around you....Otherwise you start to become inhuman." So declares rescuer Hetty Voute in this ebook of the updated edition of The Heart Has Reasons, an acclaimed historical account that offers an in-depth look into the hearts and minds of the Holocaust rescuers and explores the meaning that their lives and deeds have for us today. Individually or in small "humanitarian cells," the ten Dutch people profiled in these pages saved the lives of thousands of Jewish children during the Nazi occupation of Holland. How did they do what they did-and why did they risk everything to do it? Although their extraordinary tales of rescue vary greatly, the integrity of the rescuers does not. Thus these narratives provide not only a window on the past but a vision for the future. Framed by Klempner's own quest for meaning, the rescuers' words resonate across generations, providing timeless insight into how people of conscience can navigate ethically in an increasingly complex world.

In this remarkable, historically significant book, Mordecai Paldiel recounts in vivid detail the many ways in which, at great risk to their own lives, Jews rescued other Jews during the Holocaust. In so doing he puts to rest the widely held belief that all Jews in Nazi-dominated Europe wore blinders and allowed themselves to be led like "lambs to the slaughter." Paldiel documents how brave Jewish men and women saved thousands of their fellow Jews through efforts unprecedented in Jewish history. Encyclopedic in scope and organized by country, Saving One's Own tells the stories of hundreds of Jewish activists who created rescue networks, escape routes, safe havens, and partisan fighting groups to save beleaguered Jewish men, women, and children from the Nazis. The rescuers' dramatic stories are often shared in their own words, and Paldiel provides extensive historical background and documentation. The untold story of these Jewish heroes, who displayed inventiveness and courage in outwitting the enemy--and in saving literally thousands of Jews--is finally revealed.

One of the questions that often gets asked about the concentration camps of World War II is how the Nazi's were able to gain the compliance of all citizens in order to segregate and murder over 6 million Jewish people. The number is staggering. That number represents nearly two thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. With anti-semantic feelings growing in Europe again, this is a valid question. The answer is fear. Citizens feared that they would meet the same fate. That their loved ones would be punished. So many turned a blind eye, or worse helped. There were those that did not. These are those that we consider heroes of the Holocaust. They worked in secret, guarding children, families, innocent men and women condemned to die simply because of their faith. Learn more about the man hailed as the real "Captain American," risking his life to smuggle out large numbers of Jews at a time. Find out why he would be haunted until the end of his life because of those he couldn't save. Read about the country whose citizens believed in the ideal of human kindness on a widespread basis, sacrificing their freedom for those that believed something different from their own faith. These are but a few stories of bravery and the indomitable human spirit that resides in us all if we dare to find it. Comments From Other Readers "In one of the darkest times, these stories shine like a beacon of light. Each story is well written and gives not only the details of sacrifice made, but also the history behind them. These are not the types of things you read about in your standard history text. The author paints a picture of unity and brotherhood that our nations sorely need to find today." Rolland - Manitoba (Canada) "The Holocaust brings tears to my eyes. Ever since I read the Diary of Anne Frank when I was in school, I've been interested in the events of World War II. The idea that nations could turn a blind eye while 6 million people were murdered is shocking. Men, women, children, it didn't matter. That's why books like this one are so important. Not everyone was blind to the horror. There were heroes and this book is an excellent example of just a few that gave everything to save strangers. Well written, intriguing, and simply a good read."

Classes and books on the Holocaust often center on the experiences of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, but rescuers also occupy a prominent space in Holocaust courses and literature even though incidents of rescue were relatively few and rescuers constituted less than 1 percent of the population in Nazi-occupied Europe. As inspiring figures and role models, rescuers challenge us to consider how we would act if we found ourselves in similarly perilous situations of grave moral import. Their stories speak to us and move us. Yet this was not always the case. Seventy years ago these brave men and women, today regarded as the Righteous Among the Nations, went largely unrecognized; indeed, sometimes they were even singled out for abuse from their co-nationals for their selfless actions. Unlikely Heroes traces the evolution of the humanitarian hero, looking at the ways in which historians, politicians, and filmmakers have treated individual rescuers like Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar Schindler, as well as the rescue efforts of humanitarian organizations. Contributors in this edited collection also explore classroom possibilities for dealing with the role of rescuers, at both the university and the secondary level.

In this brilliantly researched and insightful book, psychologist Eva Fogelman presents compelling stories of rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust--and offers a revealing analysis of their motivations. Based on her extensive experience as a therapist treating Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and those who helped them, Fogelman delves into the psychology of altruism, illuminating why these rescuers chose to act while others simply stood by. While analyzing motivations, Conscience And Courage tells the stories of such little-known individuals as Stefnaia Podgorska Burzminska, a Polish teenager who hid thirteen Jews in her home; Alexander Roslan, a dealer in the black market who kept uprooting his family to shelter three Jewish children in his care, as well as more heralded individuals such as Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg, and Miep Gies. Speaking to the same audience that flocked to Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning movie, Schindler's List, Conscience And Courage is the first book to go beyond the stories to answer the question: Why did they help?
