Antisemitism has sadly been on the rise. Did you know about these heroes who were willing to take a stand against Jew-hatred?
Standing Up to Jew-Hatred
It is not always easy to take the right position in life. It is especially difficult if you face backlash. You can see from the stories of these individuals that it took effort to come out against Jew-hatred and to really make a difference. Some risked their lives, and some risked their fame. Either way, these people chose to do what was moral. They didn’t care what the consequences would be.
Yes, some of the heroes here are famous for other things. But their most honorable actions were what they did to be moral in a world that was telling them otherwise. Fighting Jew-hatred is extremely important. You never know how you will change someone’s life by doing so. We may not be able to end antisemitism right now, but we can definitely stand up to it. We can definitely educate people with the truth.
You want to be remembered for what you did that made a positive difference. You want to be remembered for the kindness you showed toward others.
We may not all have the opportunities or abilities to save lives in a way that is so public, but we all have the opportunities and abilities to have a positive impact on people and on the world. Do what’s right and moral. At the end of the day, that is what truly matters.
