Jewish Rescue in Holland and France during the Second World War: Moral Cognition and Collective Action.

Gross, Michael L.

Social Forces, v73 n2 p463-96 Dec 1994

Data from 174 persons involved in French and Dutch community rescues of Jews during World War II revealed personal motivations based either on material, social, and religious norms or on social justice, each set linked to a distinct cognitive structure. However, organizational and supportive context factors were more significant than personal motivations in sustaining collective action. (SV)
