In this episode of Heroes of the Holocaust, CJ Burroughs shares the true stories of three heroes whose courage took place underground. The stories we’ll hear today include secret resistance networks, hidden wilderness refuges, and even a literal shelter beneath the earth.
You’ll hear the story of Jan Karski, a Righteous Gentile who served as a courier for the Polish underground and risked his life to carry the truth about the Holocaust to the world.
You’ll also meet the Bielski brothers, Jewish partisans who fled into the forests and built a hidden community that rescued more than a thousand Jews from Nazi extermination.
And finally, we’ll travel to Latvia to remember Robert Seduls, who turned a cellar into a sanctuary—hiding Jewish families underground and keeping them alive through fear, hunger, and constant danger.
These stories remind us that in the worst of times, God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary good—and that sometimes the bravest acts of courage happen where the world cannot see them.
