In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three heroes whose courage was expressed through art. The heroes we’ll meet today were writers and performers. Artists who used their creativity to preserve truth, resist evil, and protect Jewish lives.

You’ll hear the story of Armin T. Wegner, a German writer who dared to confront Adolf Hitler by speaking out against the persecution of Jews—choosing truth even when it cost him everything.

You’ll also meet Franceska Mann, a Jewish ballerina from Warsaw whose final act of resistance took place not on a stage, but in Auschwitz.

And finally, we’ll stay in Poland to remember Aleksander and Helena Zelwerowicz, a father and daughter whose lives revolved around theater, and who helped Jews hide, escape, and survive.

Their stories remind us that art is never just decoration—it is witness, memory, and light that refuses to be extinguished.

In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives. The heroes we’ll meet today were farmers, woodsmen, and country families—ordinary people who worked the land, and who chose to do what was right even when it cost them everything.

You’ll hear the story of Mefodiy and Kseniya Logatzky, a Christian farming couple in Ukraine who opened their home to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, even as the danger closed in around them.

You’ll also meet Mykolas and Jadvyga Simelis, a Lithuanian family who hid fourteen Jewish people beneath their floorboards, sharing what little they had while living under constant fear.

And finally, we’ll travel to the Lithuanian countryside to remember Jonas and Felicija Radlinskas, who sheltered two young Jewish sisters in a cellar for years—feeding them, protecting them, and helping them survive until the war ended.

These stories remind us that righteousness isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s hidden, hungry, hushed… and still it’s faithful.

In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives. The heroes we’ll meet today were doctors, nurses, and medical students—people trained to heal the body. People who found themselves in situations where acts of healing became acts of resistance.

You’ll hear the story of Irena Sendler, a Polish nurse who walked into the Warsaw Ghetto again and again, working to rescue Jewish children from unimaginable suffering.

You’ll also meet Dr. Rudolf Weigl, a scientist who studied typhus and used his laboratory—and the Nazis’ own fear—to protect Jewish lives.

And finally, we’ll travel to Budapest to remember Clara Ambrus, a nineteen-year-old medical student who risked everything to save a Jewish friend, and kept going even as the danger grew.

These stories remind us that healing is more than a profession—it’s a calling, and a choice to show courage and compassion when it matters most.
