Christian Rescuers During the Holocaust

Made possible by the generous support of Eileen Ludwig Greenland, Echoes & Reflections is excited to continue its program for Catholic school educators with this learning opportunity focusing on Christian rescuers during the Holocaust.

There were many reasons why rescuers chose to risk their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Many credit fundamental aspects of Christianity, their personal religious beliefs, and their understanding of morality as their motivations. Join Echoes & Reflections Program Manager Jesse Tannetta, a former Catholic school educator and scholar of the Holocaust and Catholic theology, to discuss the role Christianity played in motivating rescuers to save Jews during the Holocaust.

This webinar is connected to the Echoes & Reflections Rescue and Righteous among the Nations Unit.
