About this listen

In the first episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three Righteous Gentiles who protected Jewish lives—ordinary teachers and caregivers who became extraordinary rescuers.

The heroes we meet today were women of quiet conviction who stepped into danger to protect children the world had decided were expendable.

You’ll hear the story of Lois Gunden, a young Mennonite teacher who left America for Nazi-occupied France and opened a refuge for children threatened by war.

You’ll also meet Marie-Rose Gineste, who carried truth through occupied France on a bicycle—delivering a message that challenged a nation’s conscience.

And finally, we’ll travel to Budapest to remember Jane Haining, a Scottish caregiver who chose to stay with the girls in her care, even when escape was possible.

These stories remind us that courage takes many forms—and that faith is meant to be lived out through action.
