Eva Fogelman is a social psychologist, psychotherapist and author of Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust (Anchor Doubleday, 1994), a Pulitzer Prize nominee. The book is based on the Rescuer Project, commissioned by the American Jewish Committee to determine whether altruism is the opposite of the authoritarian personality. Fogelman approaches altruism as a behavior that is influenced by the convergence of an individual’s personality, socialization and situation. She is the founding director of Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, which aids 1,600 rescuers in more than 26 countries who risked their lives to save Jews without financial or other reward. She has organized national and international conferences on rescuers of Jews.
