Eloquent in their denial that they did anything heroic, more than 100 Holocaust rescuers from 12 countries speak of their experience during the dark time of Nazi occupation.
Not Jewish themselves, they and thousands more risked their lives and the lives of their families to save Jews. Interviewed and photographed in the late 1980s, these rescuers give fascinating and sometimes heart-wrenching accounts of those who were rescued and others who died. Along with stories of courage, the program raises disturbing questions: Why were there so few rescuers and so many collaborators? Can lessons learned from the Holocaust prevent a resurgence of anti-Semitism?
