The powerful conclusion to our Holocaust Education Month series focuses on resistance, justice, and lessons for today. This episode was produced and recorded by Mr Maillet, High School History and Psychology Teacher. He apologizes for any mispronunciation of German, Belarusian or Polish names. In part 3, we explore the remarkable stories of courage: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, revolts in Sobibor and Auschwitz, the Bielski partisan brothers who saved over 1,200 Jews in the Belarusian forests, and Żegota; the only state-sponsored underground rescue organization in occupied Europe. We follow liberation, the Cyprus detention camps where 52,000 Holocaust survivors were imprisoned by Britain (1946-1949), and witness the Nuremberg Trials. We learn how Raphael Lemkin coined the word "genocide" and how the 1948 UN Convention made it a crime under international law, but shockingly few Nazis were ever prosecuted. We meet several of the 27,000 Righteous Among the Nations members including Chiune Sugihara, who wrote visas by hand for 29 days saving thousands of Jews, and Arie Van Mansum, who rescued hundreds in the Netherlands before emigrating to Ottawa. We confront the painful truth: "Never Again" has failed; genocide has occurred in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur. We examine what the Allies knew and failed to do, rising contemporary antisemitism, and ask ourselves: what lessons must we carry forward?
