This lesson focuses on the small minority of people who chose, often at great personal risk, to offer assistance to Jews during the Holocaust. It thus offers a contrast to the many examples of negative human behaviour which students will have so far encountered during the course whilst encouraging reflection on the complex range of motives which might have led someone to become a rescuer.
