Who were the helpers in the Holocaust?

Answer 1

There were many heros in the Holocaust.

One of whom being Oscar Schindler who used his munitions building to save the lives of thousands of Jews.

Raoul Wallenburg also used his money to give Jewish people Sweedish passports to get out of Nazi occupied Hungry. He saved many people and he disappered.

There were many other famous and non famous heros during the holocause. Many of whom have been honored with a tree planted in Yad Vashim in Isreal.

Answer 2

The word helpers refers to people who helped those who were persecuted. A good example is Miep Gies, who helped the Franks while they were in hiding. One of the advantages of using the word helper (rather than rescuer) is that it acknowledges the role of people who helped, but were not able to rescue. Moreover, the traditional division into victims and rescuers seems to many to give the whole issue an unnecessary air of melodrama.

Answer 3

they would be either the people who managed to extract Jews from Nazi occupation, or those who helped to hide Jews under Nazi occupation.

Answer 4

Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviets.
