The courage to care
What makes people show civil courage, help others, and stand up against oppression? How do you educate citizens to actively defend democracy and human rights?
Such a privilege to participate in this wide-ranging and fascinating conversation with leading theologians Sister Carol Rittner and Archbishop of Sweden, Antje Jackelén, skilfully moderated by journalist and writer, Mark Levengood.
Topics covered include: Why teach about the Holocaust? What are the special challenges we face in studying, teaching and thinking about the Holocaust? Who were the people who rescued Jews in the Holocaust - does education, religion, upbringing or some other factor play a role in finding “the courage to care”? Why are we not better at caring for each other - how can education strengthen personal morality and ethics - is there something lacking in how people teach about the Holocaust?
