This intensive workshop takes a deeper look into morality, and the moral compass of the Righteous Among the Nations and introduces the seeds that produce hate and propaganda. In the midst of the Holocaust, in the worst of times, there were individuals who risked everything to protect others. These individuals are now reverently referred to as “The Righteous Among the Nations.” They sheltered, hid, and saved others from certain death. They did so, at great peril to themselves and their families. This lesson incorporates an audio dramatization (entitled “The Hiding”) along with authentic scenarios, that will explore moral courage, and ask you the question, what would you do?
