In this brilliantly researched and insightful book; psychologist Eva Fogelman presents compelling stories of rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust--and offers a revealing analysis of their motivations. Based on her extensive experience as a therapist treating Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and those who helped them; Fogelman delves into the psychology of altruism; illuminating why these rescuers chose to act while others simply stood by. While analyzing motivations; Conscience And Courage tells the stories of such little-known individuals as Stefnaia Podgorska Burzminska; a Polish teenager who hid thirteen Jews in her home; Alexander Roslan; a dealer in the black market who kept uprooting his family to shelter three Jewish children in his care; as well as more heralded individuals such as Oskar Schindler; Raoul Wallenberg; and Miep Gies. Speaking to the same audience that flocked to Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning movie; Schindler's List; Conscience And Courage is the first book to go beyond the stories to answer the question: Why did they help?

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wow! Loved it!By SheilaI purchased this book to read up on Springhouses; however once started; I couldn't put this book down. I'm very pleased with Everything in this book; and intend to own all of them. The gardening chapter alone; is for me; a goldmine of information.The Old Fashioned; and SMART way to grow a garden is all there; of course; not everything applies today; but over 3/4 of it does; like what they did in the days before there were any fertilizers available; and why they always planted Irish potatoes first; and way before any other potato. There are way too many jewels of information in this book to post here; however I do believe that if you purchase this book; you will be very pleased; and like me; want to read more of them. Oh; and the Springhouse information turned out to be all the information I needed to do my own. Perfect!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
