His story was told by director Steven Spielberg in the award-winning movie Schindler's List. Yet to this day, few know the name of Carl Lutz. Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews owe their lives to this modest Swiss diplomat. Among them are two Canadians who were helpless children caught up in racial hatred of the Holocaust. CBC reporter Laura Lynch talks to the historian who is telling Lutz's remarkable story.

Who left the greatest legacy? Why would one person be more famous than the others? Carl Lutz completed his university education in the United State. He earned a B.A. from the school of Law and History at George Washington University in the 1920s before embarking on his diplomatic career. Carl Lutz: The Swiss Schindler curio.ca/newsinreview / 11 What makes me fascinated by [Carl Lutz’s] story is that he was not cut out to be a hero. You know, he was not a risk taker. He was very shy, awkward…. Hardly anybody was aware of him and I felt, this can't be true. And the more I read about him, the more I felt we need to hear about him. – Charlotte Schallié, Holocaust historian THE STORY Minds On what came to be described as To Consider the “Final Solution” to the Prior to the Second World War 1.

  • April 15, 2018 Dear Cornell Class of '55, I Can't Imagine My Experience
    April 15, 2018 Dear Cornell Class of ‘55, I can’t imagine my experience at Cornell being complete without studying abroad for Psychology of the Holocaust. For a few weeks, the museums and memorials of Vienna, Prague, Krakow, and Budapest were my classroom, and the things I learned go beyond school. We engaged with heavy content, that which makes you come face to face with the worst of humanity. Whether it was a trip to perhaps the most infamous concentration camp, Auschwitz, or to the forgotten town of Lidice, everything we encountered was deeply humbling. Reading about the suffering of Holocaust victims is incomparable to walking where they walked. And yet, there were many times I was hopeful; when I was reminded, by the stories of rescuers who risked their lives to save others, of our species’ infinite capacity for good. It was the actions of these individuals—among them Carl Lutz, Raoul Wallenberg, Irena Sendler—that have once again sparked my interest in diplomacy and international humanitarian work. I am grateful to have been able to take this abroad course as a sophomore, because I will have more time to explore the avenues of knowledge that were just opened to me. Regardless of my eventual career and where I end up, I am certain that I will be thinking and learning new things in retrospect about this trip for the rest of my life. On few occasions have I been so busy. There was so much to do and see that it seemed we were constantly up and moving.

    TEACHING NIGHT IN THE SECONDARY CLASSROOM by Dyanne K. Loput A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2010 Copyright by Dyanne K. Loput 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere thanks to Dr. Alan L. Berger for his guidance, encouragement, patience, expertise, and profound brilliance throughout the writing of this manuscript. The author is also grateful to Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff for offering the Holocaust Institute, a program that provides educators with a springboard for the knowledge and resources they need to teach Holocaust literature effectively. Additionally, Dr. Barclay Barrios’s and Professor Papatya Bucak’s guidance and inspiration in teaching analytical and creative writing are very much appreciated. iv ABSTRACT Author: Dyanne K. Loput Title: Teaching Night in the Secondary Classroom Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Alan L. Berger Degree: Master of Arts in Teaching English Year: 2010 As a secondary-level educator of literature and writing, I have observed the fundamental need for a sensitive, well-developed curriculum in the art of teaching Eliezer Wiesel’s Night to high school students. This thesis contextualizes Wiesel’s memoir by examining the history of Jewish persecution, the Holocaust itself, and Wiesel’s background. Educational strategies and activities that use both literary analysis and creative writing to engender a comprehensive and thorough realization of the history as expressed through the literature are elucidated. Additionally, several ways in which teachers may lead students to examine the effects, implications, and ramifications of Wiesel’s legacy are supplied.

  • 2021 Essay Pamphlet
    “Last, but by no means least, courage - moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle - the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other.” Douglas MacArthur The Essay Topic: Describe a person who acted with moral courage. What can be learned from their actions and how do the lessons relate to you? During the Holocaust, it is estimated that eleven million people were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators. Fortunately, there were many who survived. Many survivors were rescued by “ordinary” people who took extraordinary risks to become an ally. Moral courage is the ability to take a strong stand on a specific issue based on one’s personal beliefs or convictions and to defend it regardless of danger or threats to personal safety. Rescuers during the Holocaust, such as Miep Gies, Carl Lutz, Vladka Mead, Oskar Schindler, Chiune Sugihara, and Raoul Wallenberg, exemplify both courage and moral courage. They displayed courage in their ability to face difficulty, danger, and/or pain without fear; they exhibited moral courage when they acted on their own values and beliefs to spare the lives of others at the risk of jeopardizing their own. Their actions serve as a model of personal triumph over adversity and inspire others to act accordingly. Step 1: Contextual Research: learn more about the history of the Holocaust, and investigate at least two of the stories of the rescuers mentioned above to inspire you to research and write your own essay on moral courage.

  • El Salvador's Holocaust Heroes
    - 1 El Salvador's Holocaust Heroes By John Lamperti1 It must be clearly established that San Salvador [sic] is the only state to overcome any hesitancy and to undertake an active rescue operation. Carl Lutz, Swiss Ambassador in Budapest, 19442 Germany invaded its wavering ally Hungary on March 19, 1944, when eleven German divisions marched into Budapest. There was no resistance, and a compliant puppet government was installed in a few days. The “final solution” for Hungarian Jews then began with shocking speed. In a few weeks yellow stars and ghettos were imposed everywhere that Jews lived in Hungary outside the capital. Deportations to Auschwitz began in mid May, and in less than a fortnight from 12,000 to 14,000 Jewish people per day were being sent away on special trains, packed horribly into freight and cattle cars. In less than two months, 445,000 human beings had been shipped to their deaths.3 George Mandel/Mantello Suddenly the transports stopped. Hungary’s strong man Miclós Horthy, who had raised few previous objections to Hitler’s plans, ordered a halt to the deportations while more than 200,000 Jews in Budapest remained largely unmolested. To many that halt seemed no less than a miracle. But what made Horthy act? The answer, surprisingly, has much to do with the small, far-off nation of El Salvador and with a man named George Mantello. Most Salvadorans have never heard his name, although he was an official of their government during the critical years of the second World War. Mantello was an unusual Salvadoran who spoke no Spanish and never set his foot on the nation's soil.

  • Holokauszt Magyarországon
    „A magyarországi holocaust társadalmi és pszichés okait elemezve egy közeli és távoli okot fogalmazott meg. A közeli ok a két vh közötti magyar társadalom erkölcsi csődje, ami a közönyön, az áldozatok hibáztatásán egy hamis politikai realizmuson alapul. Távoli ok: a századforduló után a politikai hatalom még mindig a nemesség kezében volt, a gazdasági hatalom viszont egyre inkább átkerült a zsidó polgársághoz. A bűnbakképzéssel ugyanis a lélek csökkenti a társadalmi ellentmondások okozta pszichés feszültséget.” Bibó István TARTALOM Általános művek Memoárirodalom – Naplók Helyi vonatkozású dokumentumok, kiadványok Bács-Kiskun megyei rendezvények, megemlékezések Videók Linkek Általános művek Améry, Jean: Túl bűnön és bűnhődésen : esszék : egy letepert ember kísérletei a felülkerekedésre.
