Two speakers share lived experiences from the Holocaust, Dr. Fogelman, a psychologist and daughter of a Jewish baker protected by a Russian, and Rabbi Goldstein who survived more than two years in Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Dr. Fogelman’s personal search and professional journey has explored The Rescuers, “the Righteous Among the Nations,” non-Jews who risked their lives to rescue Jews. Rabbi Goldstein recalls historical events of the Holocaust through his own and his family’s experience; both are gripping accounts.

1. Identify key events in the build-up of persecution of the Jews in the 1930s and 40s.
2. Describe motivations of Rescuers as researched by Dr. Fogelman.
3. Recall Rabbi Goldstein’s reflection on how his faith was changed by his experiences.
4. Discuss commonalities among those who would become Rescuers.
