The Silent Heroes Memorial Centre
It is estimated that as many as thirty thousand non-Jewish ‘rescuers’ offered some form of support and refuge to their Jewish fellow citizens. A unique museum opened recently in Berlin to honour these courageous people. The Silent Heroes Memorial Centre is the first of its kind dedicated to those who defied the Nazis and helped protect Jews from imminent deportation to the concentration camps. Andrew Littlejohn met Barbara Schieb, one of the museum’s curators, and Frau Timm who, along with her parents, hid two young men.
