Summary: Mark Klempner is the author of The Heart Has Reasons- Holocaust Rescuers and their Stories of Courage. We explore Mark's process of meeting the Rescuers and how goodness can be organized in the 21st Century
Klempner hung out with ten people who rescued Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland--people who had the guts to try to stop the Final Solution even as it was happening! He writes about them in his book The Heart Has Reasons, a book I'm going to get, because after listening to him, I realize we have a lot to learn from these people, and a lot to learn from him. The interview is a summing up of the rescuers' wisdom, and Klempner's ideas on how that wisdom translates into the challenges facing us today. I wish this interview was broadcast far and wide because the message of the rescuers, which Klempner so eloquently conveys, is a crucial one for today's world.
