«This wonderful book speaks to the dream I have had all my life both as a Jew and as a genocide scholar: that honoring the Holocaust be a springboard for messages of moral courage and caring for all life. 'Civil Courage' moves gracefully between testimonies of the Holocaust, creative issues in Holocaust education, and translation of the archetypal meanings of the Holocaust into a call to humanity to care about all humanity. In the name of the Holocaust, and with a realism about contemporary threats of new holocausts, including weapons of mass destruction, this book contributes to standing up courageously for a saner world.
