Panel

*I could not go to the mandatory event (gallery or musical) as I was ill. This is my make up work. I will be on the panel and this is what I plan to discuss.

What I plan on discussing is different from a story from the book the Rescuers. Instead, I plan to discuss online sources 4 and 5 and altruistic views. I will first talk about what altruism is and how we have talked about in class. I will then talk specifically about the sources and what stood out to me. I will discuss the fact that less than 1% rescued and that these people do not consider themselves as heroes but as people doing what is right, even though the line of right and wrong was blurred at the time. I will also talk about Karski in depth about this quote, "Karski's intellect and humanitarian spirit taught him some other lessons. He believes that even though in wartime Europe the murderers of Jews by far outnumbered those who wanted to save them, it is counterproductive to concentrate only on the murderers of Jews and ignore the minority that was determined to save them. This assertion Karski explains is based on two reasons. First, because it is historically untrue. Thousands of Christians tried to save Jews and were ready to die for them. Some did. Second, because this kind of an emphasis perpetuates the idea that "everybody hates the Jews". Not everyone hates the Jews. Christian rescuers felt that the Jews were valuable enough to risk their lives for them. In short, it is both historically incorrect and psychologically unhealthy to concentrate on the idea that no-one wanted to save Jews. (Jan Karski, Personal communication, 1999)." It strikes me  how he analyzes this. I will also discuss from the other source the different types of rescuing (i.e. Moral, Judeophiles,Network).
