Ministers of Compassion during the Nazi Period: Gertrud Luckner and Raoul Wallenberg
(1999)
Abstract
The Shoah or Holocaust, defined as the vicious, prolonged and deadly attack on the Jewish people and their way of life in Nazi-dominated Europe, has cast a long and dismal shadow over the latter two-thirds on this century. As we grapple with the inadequacies of so many people in virtually every walk of life and every religious or secular community to stand up to the Nazi threat, we are grateful for heroic examples of those who did act with courage and resolution. They remind us of the moral and spiritual challenge to follow one's conscience when it is not only unpopular but extremely dangerous to be different. This study examples two such examples, Gertrud Luckner and Raoul Wallenberg.
