Rescuer (genocide)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During a genocide, a rescuer or helper is someone who tries to help the genocide victims survive. In many cases, they are motivated by altruism and/or humanitarianism. The best-studied example of this phenomenon is the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust.[1][2][3][4][5]
