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.

Why do you think people of faith celebrate the most joyful holidays during the darkest time of the year? The Jewish people just did, having finished their annual Hanukkah festivities, celebrating the Festival of Lights.

This isn’t not a coincidence. We celebrate light during this dark time of year because only against that backdrop of darkness can we truly appreciate light.

In this special holiday episode, host Yael Eckstein looks at this season during which we remember miracles that happened in Bible times, as well as miracles that are still happening today! As we’ll learn in this powerful episode, no matter how dark things may be, we can still find the light.

And learn more about the holidays that God’s people will celebrate in the year to come.

How do miracles happen? A miracle just takes one step of faith and God takes care of the rest! And that’s what today’s episode is all about.

Yael Eckstein looks at the Hanukkah story of the miracle of the oil. When rededicating the Temple in ancient times, God’s people lit the menorah on faith alone because they knew they didn’t have enough pure oil for it to burn more than one day. And guess what? God performed a miracle, and the flame lasted for eight days until they could get more pure oil!

This Hanukkah, all God wants us to do is light that first candle and He will do the rest. Just as the Hanukkah story has inspired the Jewish people throughout history, God’s miracles in our own lives ignite hope and let our faith burn bright. Listen now!
