PERPETRATORS, BYSTANDERS, RESCUERS: CHRISTIAN ACTION AND INACTION DURING THE HOLOCAUST

September 9, 2026

4:00 PM ET

Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

During the Holocaust, Christians across Europe made choices that shaped the fate of millions. Some were active and ardent Nazis and perpetrators. Others stood by in silence. A courageous few risked their lives to help those in danger. What drove these decisions? And how do we teach students to examine this complex moral terrain?

Join Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy Jesse Tannetta to explore classroom-ready resources and effective strategies to help students examine how faith guided ordinary Christians and influential leaders, including the Pope, to act, and not act, in a myriad of ways, and how those roles were not always fixed but could shift based on circumstances, choices and agency.
