Rescuers' actions during Holocaust reaffirm faith in
humankind and offer legacy for future generations.
From September 17-19,
1984, the US Holocaust
Memorial Council will conduct
an international conference in
Washington, D.C., entitled:
FAITH IN HUMANKIND:
RESCUERS OF JEWS DUR
ING THE HOLOCAUST.
This conference will bring
together scholars of various
disciplines, rescuers and sur
vivors from around the world
to remember and assess the
role of the non-Jews who acted
courageously and righteously
during the Holocaust.
According to Dr. Carol Ritt-
ner, R.S.M., conference co
coordinator, “The goodness
and courage of the few brave
rescuers enables us to face the
terrible Holocaust of that
period without complete
despair. The goals of this con
ference are to bring together
rescuers and the people they
helped so that they may bear
witness to what was done and
what could have been done to
help Jews during the
Holocaust if more people had
tried.”
As part of that goal, many
of the discussions, meetings
and oral histories will be
recorded and collected for
future use by scholars and
students. These records will be
kept in the Archives of the US
Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The Museum, which is being
planned by the US
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
COUNCIL, will be located in
Washington, D.C.
The conference, which will
take place over a three-day
period, will open Monday
evening, September 17. At
this time, Elie Wiesel, noted
author, human rights activist
and Chairman of the US
Holocaust Memorial Council,
will provide the official con
ference welcome. Through the
use of music, readings, video
appearances and short
speeches by well-known
dignitaries, rescuers and their
■•r
V
A
e
actions will be remembered
and the tone for the entire con
ference will be set.
On Tuesday, September 18,
Professor Harry James
Cargas, conference co
coordinator, author, and
member of the US Holocaust
Memorial Council, will
moderate the opening session
of the conference at the US
Department of State. The rest
of the day will consist of
plenary sessions and
workshops focusing on the
conditions in occupied Europe
(social, environmental,
geographical, psychological,
theological, etc.) that either in
hibited or enabled non-Jews to
help Jews. Professor Robert
McAfee Brown and Rabbi
Harold Schulweis will be
presenters.
In the afternoon, scholars,
rescuers, survivors who were
helped, and other participants
will meet in small discussion
groups to share personal ex
periences. These groups will
highlight rescue activities in
various coimtries. One session
will be completely devoted to
the French community, Le
Chambon-sur-Lignon, which
during the war coUectively
sheltered, hid and saved more
that 2000 Jews. Featured on
the panel: Magda Trocme, wife
of Pastor Andre Trocme, Le
Chambon’s leader; Professor
Phillip Hallie, author of LEST
INNOCENT BLOOD BE
SHED, a book about Le
Chambon; Pierre Sauvage,
Jewish survivor bom in Le
Chambon and producer of an
upcoming documentary on the
subject, as well as others who
were helped by the communi
ty of Le Chambon.
On Wednesday, the con
ference program will address
the role of public figures in en
couraging or impeding rescue
efforts. For insight on this
topic, the conference will hear
from Professor Richard Breit-
mfui, discoverer of the identi
ty of Edward Schulte, the Ger
man industrialist who in 1942
confirmed to Gerhart Riegner,
representative of the World
Jewish Congress, the ex
istence of the so-called Final
Solution.
Participants will consider
the testimonials, scholarly in
sight, and discussions
presented in the preceding ses
sions and put this information
into the larger context: What
is the legacy of the rescuers?
