welcome to stuff. You missed in history class from house works. How can we allow and welcomed the treaty will and I'm Holly fry and we're gonna talk about a collection? We don't you does happen. We win railways to kill one thing: to talk about a collection of people There are so many amazing an heroic stories of people who risk their own lives and the lives of their families and friends to protect. These and other people who were at risk before and during the Holocaust, Yad Vashem, honours people with the title of righteous among the nations on behalf of Israel, and these are non Jews who risk their lives to saved used during the Holocaust, and Elsa January. First, twenty thirteen was the most recent day. I could find twenty four thousand

eight hundred eleven people had been awarded this title and some of these people are quite well known. Today. People like Oscar Schindler, who we know about because of the film Schindler's list. You know the pockets and were well connected and they use their money in their bureaucracy. To protect people. Schindler, for example, is credit with saving one thousand two hundred Jews, there were also diplomats to use their roles in their clout to illegally secure visas and passports for people. A couple of apples are Louie Martens, disuse, a damn, damn task from Brazil and arrest. The Susa Mendez from Portugal, and they were both working from France when they did this and then There are the people who sheltered individual people and families and one of the most ass being meet Gees. Who was one People who helped shelter and Frank and her family and who are found and saved aims diary, which of course, became a really important document

town of new land, Netherlands, every household, sheltered at least one Jew, and that was so that no one in the community would be able to betray anyone else. Like they kind of tat. The approach of they were together. Right to betray anyone else in the community was to betray oneself rescuers some of them, who have also been named righteous among the nations terms you really pricing. We ingenious or unexpected or daring plans to save other people and for a number of reasons, there's not a lot of biographical or scholarly information for a lot of them, at least not to be able to vote to devote one whole episode to just one of them, but these stories are so incredible and they reveal so much about the links that some people will go to to protect other human beings that we didn't want to overlook them. So we ve gathered a few into one episode today, and we're going to start with one. That requires a little bit of a green assault, because this story has

come a little bit inflated through the years and retail coward, was a british sergeant, major held it appear w camp near Outwits, monoliths also old, outwits three and his experience was later made into a book called the password his courage, which turn was made into a film, so you can see how fast get a little altered and nebulous along the way and those retelling either with the passage of time and the fact that there was there with the drama taxation. The element involved and some of that story really has come under some scrutiny over the years. So what we are sticking to you is the man conservative version for the part for which he was aimed as righteous amendment among the nations on February. Sixteen nineteen sixty five enough substantiated of the greater of his story- and this was a rescue through by swapping, so tat calls in the other peer double use would get aid packages from the inner no Red Cross, which would

clued such valuable items as chocolate and cigarettes he hoarded thee and he convince the other peered I've used to part with. There is also a man he's them as currency. He would them. With a German who was responsible for disposing of bodies from the neighbouring construction site. And the bodies are actually what Charles was after claimed. They were part of a practical joke, but he was really using them as standing in for escaping Jews, so the Jews would be marched from the the camp to a synthetic rubber works where they were to exist are exhaustion, and some they would die there or on right back to the camp as a result of being so overworked and malnourished and and poorly treated. So with them. Of sympathetic guards and other peer Debbie's Charles, would have two or three bodies staged along the that route that they were March to get to and from the rather works and then

catching number of jewish prisoners you, Charles, had identified, would slip away. During the March back Jews, counted coming and going to prevent just such an escape. The body of anyone who died along the way had to be returned to Auschwitz and counted as well and the boy. It would then be tallied along with the jewish prisoner, so no one would be accounted is missing. So there really an ingenious little bath plot there to make sure the total number added up at the end. The exact number of people that were saved using this little body swap is a little bit unclear at this point and Charles himself not around any longer to discuss about it? He died in nineteen, seventy six The next summer gonna talk about is doctor. Eugene was ascii. Yes, he was doctor in a soldier in the polish army- and he faked, an outbreak of epidemic

hi, face and rise without in Southeast Poland, to save Jews and the polish people who were living there. He had been they are to work for the Polish Red Cross after Germany invaded Poland in nineteen thirty nine friend and medical colleagues. Stanislaw Matula weeks discovered he injected someone with kill typhus bacteria person would then test positive to the disease without actually being infected. Doktor was, He ran with this knowledge repeating the process on other people in rosewood out, if jewish people were discovered to have typhus. They would have been just killed as a disease control measure. So what did. Was he injected the non Jews who were living in the area and then he sent their supposedly? terminated blood to german labs to be tested, and he carefully metered out the number of infections that these foe infections to mimic what would be a very natural, inorganic start of a typhus epidemic

officials fearing Disease wound of quarantining the entire area and it was home, about eight thousand people, so he's credit, but saving the Jews who live there from concentration camps and everyone else from being sent into forced labour in India, that work is stating this outbreak. He also provided medical care to the Jews who were living in the rise without ghetto under the cover of night, which thing that you would have been punished for doing if he had ever caught. And doktor was ASCII emigrated to Chicago after the war and he and living in Eugene Oregon where he died. On December, sixteenth of two thousand six, have another medical. Intervention as well as our next story. This is earned three or more and he was an anesthesiologist living in Denmark at the time The danish resistance was smilingly use under the false bottoms of fishing boats. So what they do is they would go far enough away from land that they wouldn't be seen, and then they would

Now they had gotten wind of what was going on and started bringing the dogs the tide of the statue it working the pharmacist named Olaf, of whom more came up to try to stiff out stowaway. Now they had gotten wind of what was going on and then started bringing the dogs to try to put a stop to it.

They were useless to sniff out the bodies at that point, so this allowed the resistance to keep doing what I have been doing and carry on with getting people out the area without too much fear of discovery factor died on January thirteenth.

If you see someone drowning, you must try to save him, even if you cannot swim- and it was this attitude that led her into a life of service, including her work as a social worker before the start of the war women when's began moving Jews, him of the Warsaw ghetto. She started by smuggling food and medicine in the area. She would forward.

A purse using polish names, so she could secure food and medical aid and then she would distributed among the Jews when they get. I was locked down. She got a nurses, uniform and a permit to inspect sanitary conditions, which let her move in and out of the area more freely in nineteenth he too juice from the Warsaw ghetto began to be removed to the Treblinka extermination camp in law, the other camps during the Holocaust House, prisoners who were forced labour.

Irina really had to work to convince them that they were being sent there to die and that their children only hope of survival was to be moved elsewhere, One piece of reassurance that arena was able to give these families is that she would keep up with the real names of their children so that later on, families could potentially be reunited sure the children's real names and new names on pieces of paper, and she would seal them into jars and bottles, and then he buried them under an apple tree that belonged to her friend.
