Kurzinhalt
Die Reihe 'Zivilcourage - Die Gerechten unter den Völkern von Yad Vashem' möchte die geheimen Helden in Erinnerung rufen, die durch die Institution Yad Vashem ausgezeichnet wurden und im Kleinen so über das Regime gesiegt haben. Drei Dokumentationen über österreichische Gerechte sollen entstehen und im ORF ausgestrahlt sowie im Schulunterricht über das BMUKK eingesetzt werden. Die Wiener Autorin Irene Harand kämpfte öffentlich gegen Rassenhass und Antisemitismus, rettete unzählige Menschen und engagierte sich auch noch im Exil für deren Weiterleben. Ella Lingens engagierte sich in der sozialistischen Bewegung, versteckte und unterstützte jüdische Kommilitonen. Als sie deshalb ins KZ nach Russland deportiert wurde, nutzte sie auch dort ihre privilegierte Stellung als Lagerärztin, um jüdische Lagerinsassen zu retten. Der spätere steirische Politiker Franz Leitner rettete im KZ Buchenwald als junger Mann unzähligenKindern und Jugendlichen das Leben, indem er sich als Blockältester für die Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen einsetzte und sie in geschützteren Arbeitsbereichen unterbrachte.
