Unknown Heroes are those ordinary men and women who demonstrated the ‘courage to care’ by protecting, assisting or sheltering victims of mass genocide. The stories of the ‘unknown heroes’ demonstrate that even in the darkest of times there will always be ordinary people who will stand up and place themselves at risk to protect others from prejudice and injustice, racism, bullying and discrimination.

O autorovi

Courage to Care is a volunteer-based organisation, with partnered divisions based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, providing educational programs and workshops for children and young people, focusing on informing young Australians of the dangers of prejudice and discrimination. Courage to Care strives to combat discrimination in all forms by inspiring and empowering each individual to become an ‘upstander’ and take positive action when witnessing prejudice or bullying. Our central message is that every person can make a difference and that even ordinary people are capable of extraordinary acts.
