Are the very religious more likely to be altruistic toward outsiders than those who are less religious? In this book Pearl M. Oliner examines data on Christian rescuers and nonrescuers of Jews during the Holocaust to shed light on these important questions. Drawing on interviews with more than five hundred Christians-Protestant and Catholic, very religious, irreligious, and moderately religious rescuers and nonrescuers living in Nazi-occupied Europe, Oliner offers a sociological perspective on the values and attitudes that distinguished each group. She presents several case studies of rescuers and nonrescuers within each group and then interprets the individual's behavior as it relates to his or her group. She finds that the value patterns of the religious groups differ significantly from one another, and she is able to highlight those factors that appear to have contributed most toward rescue within each group. 606 $aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$xAttitudes 606 $aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$xPsychology 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews$xRescue 606 $aAltruism 606 $aMotivation (Psychology) 606 $aReligion and culture 606 $aPersonality and culture 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$xAttitudes. 615 0$aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$xPsychology. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews$xRescue. 615 0$aAltruism. 615 0$aMotivation (Psychology) 615 0$aReligion and culture. 615 0$aPersonality and culture. 676 $a940.53/1835/0922 700 $aOliner$b Pearl M$01041516 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452329903321 996 $aSaving the forsaken$92465093 997 $aUNINA
