Description
Contends that after the Holocaust spirituality requires that self-transcendence be defined primarily as ethical responsibility. Ch. 4 (pp. 89-118), "Ethical Responsibility and Holocaust Rescuers, " concludes that even though theories of rescue do not clearly establish an overt religious motivation, many rescuers were influenced to act by a religious motivation based on ethical responsibility.
