In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives. The pastors we’ll meet today were spiritual shepherds who refused to stay silent in the face of evil.

You’ll hear the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor whose faith led him to resist Hitler… and make the ultimate sacrifice.

You’ll also meet Vladimir Kuna, a pastor in Slovakia who opened his church orphanage to Jewish children whose parents had nowhere else to turn.

And finally, we’ll travel to France to remember André and Magda Trocmé, whose compassion inspired an entire town to shelter Jewish refugees and protect them from Nazi persecution.

These stories remind us that faith is not shown by words alone—but by action, even when doing what’s right comes at a cost.

In the first episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives—ordinary teachers and caregivers who became extraordinary rescuers.

The heroes we meet today were women of quiet conviction who stepped into danger to protect children the world had decided were expendable.

You’ll hear the story of Lois Gunden, a young Mennonite teacher who left America for Nazi-occupied France and opened a refuge for children threatened by war.

You’ll also meet Marie-Rose Gineste, who carried truth through occupied France on a bicycle—delivering a message that challenged a nation’s conscience.

And finally, we’ll travel to Budapest to remember Jane Haining, a Scottish caregiver who chose to stay with the girls in her care, even when escape was possible.

These stories remind us that courage takes many forms—and that faith is meant to be lived out through action.

Why do you think people of faith celebrate the most joyful holidays during the darkest time of the year? The Jewish people just did, having finished their annual Hanukkah festivities, celebrating the Festival of Lights.

This isn’t not a coincidence. We celebrate light during this dark time of year because only against that backdrop of darkness can we truly appreciate light.

In this special holiday episode, host Yael Eckstein looks at this season during which we remember miracles that happened in Bible times, as well as miracles that are still happening today! As we’ll learn in this powerful episode, no matter how dark things may be, we can still find the light.

Listen now!

And learn more about the holidays that God’s people will celebrate in the year to come.
