Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust: Genocide and Moral Obligation

Originally published in 1994 (Fortress Press), this work is made available again in a new edition. Gushee (moral philosophy, Union University) incorporates new research on the Holocaust as well as the nuances of his evolved thinking: he still addresses his work in particular to those who identify themselves as Christians, but he now has a widened view of his audience so that his comments pertain to those of other religious paths. The subject is a quest to understand why more non-Jews did not assist the Jews against the Nazis, to understand those who did, and more broadly, to understand what it takes to be a rescuer.
