Description:
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.
