About this listen
In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three heroes whose courage was expressed through art. The heroes we’ll meet today were writers and performers. Artists who used their creativity to preserve truth, resist evil, and protect Jewish lives.
You’ll hear the story of Armin T. Wegner, a German writer who dared to confront Adolf Hitler by speaking out against the persecution of Jews—choosing truth even when it cost him everything.
You’ll also meet Franceska Mann, a Jewish ballerina from Warsaw whose final act of resistance took place not on a stage, but in Auschwitz.
And finally, we’ll stay in Poland to remember Aleksander and Helena Zelwerowicz, a father and daughter whose lives revolved around theater, and who helped Jews hide, escape, and survive.
Their stories remind us that art is never just decoration—it is witness, memory, and light that refuses to be extinguished.
