“The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) is honored to support The Righteous Among Us: Two Who Defied the Nazis and strongly encourages every American to see this moving film. Waitstill and Martha Sharp are genuine American heroes who represent not just the best of our religious tradition, but the highest values of all the world’s great faiths.”

“Martha and Waitstill Sharp were instrumental in the founding of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, an independent organization advancing human rights around the world. They offer a powerful example of religious faith in action.” Reverend Peter Morales, President Unitarian Universalist Association |
"In 2007, our organization honored the Sharps with the ADL Courage to Care Award. These brave Christians followed the tenets of their faith and became, against staggering odds, their brother’s keepers. The Sharps made it possible for almost 1,000 stranded refugees, many of them Jews, to survive when millions of others all over Europe did not.”
Abraham H. Foxman National Director, Anti-Defamation League |
“One too-little-known story of heroism is that of Waitstill and Martha Sharp. I’m pleased to be part of a worldwide grassroots educational movement in synagogues, theaters, community churches and schools throughout the country to bring the film and book to the widest possible audience. I hope that you will take some time to find out about this remarkable story and share it with your family and friends.”
