The history of the Holocaust includes powerful stories of individuals who risked everything to protect others; a Polish farmer hid two girls and their mothers for 28 months, a Serbian priest sheltered orphaned sisters, Bulgarian leaders protested Jewish deportations, and a Muslim woman hid her Jewish neighbor in Sarajevo. Using Centropa’s 1,200 interviews and 25,000 digitized photographs from 15 Central and Eastern European countries, this workshop explores acts of moral courage.
