Overview

Torch of Courage tells the stories of fifteen heroes, mostly young people who made hard moral choices at the risk of their own lives during World War II. Some lost families and friends. Some were tortured and killed, but one thing they did not lose was their self-respect. Would Master Sergeant Roddy Edmonds divulge which of his men were Jews as a pistol is being held to his head? Did the threat of death to Hans and Sophie Scholl keep them from publishing thousands of anti-Nazi leaflets? How did John Henry Weidner survive imprisonment and torture after rescuing people through the Underground? These heroes, and others, refused to compromise. They did not shrink from the cost of standing for their convictions. They knew severe consequences may await, but they did what was right anyway. All of them chose courage of cowardice and the moral path over submission to Hitler's regime. Find inspiration through these stories of bravery to make your own bold choices.
