Throughout the Nazi Holocaust, the incidence of altruistic behavior toward Jews existed only among a rare few members of society. Amid the perpetrators of murder and passive bystanders during World War II and the Third Reich was a minority who risked their lives to save Jews from certain death.<\/p>\n

Dr. Fogelman\u2019s talk explores the characteristics and upbringing of this minority, their motivation to rescue, and how the rescuers\u2019 altruistic behavior can be applied to past and present genocides.<\/p>\n

Fogelman is founding director of Jewish Foundation for Christian Rescuers, which became a project of the Anti-Defamation League, and is now known as the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous. The Foundation provides monthly stipends to needy rescuers in 26 countries.<\/p>\n

She is founding director of Psychotherapy with Generations of the Holocaust and Related Traumas, and co-director of Child Development Research at Training Institute for Mental Health.
