Applied History of the Holocaust
A Framework for Understanding Collective (and Individual) Moral Responsibility
From the essay
In 1942, in the small Polish town of Markowa, a farmer named Józef Ulma and his wife Wiktoria hid eight Jewish neighbors in their home. They shared food they could barely spare, always listening for boots on the road. When they were discovered, the Nazis executed the Jewish families — and then murdered Józef, his pregnant wife, and their six children, in front of the town.
