A panel of Jews and Christians shared thoughts on the humanitarian role that Gentiles and others played in the Holocaust during an April program at Samford University.
Two survivors of the Holocaust spoke of their experiences and agreed that their experiences had resulted in a deep respect for other faiths.
The survivors were joined by Johannes Schwanke, a religion professor at University of Tubingen in Germany, and Samford religion department chair Kenneth Roxburgh in a forum moderated by Samford Provost Brad Creed.
The forum, The Righteous Gentile: Thou Shall Not Stand Idly by the Blood of thy Neighbor, was part of a Days of Remembrance series at Samford, which was co-sponsored by the Birmingham Jewish Federation and Birmingham Holocaust Education Committee.
