Description
What if the man you thought you knew as a failed president was actually one of history’s greatest humanitarians?
In this unforgettable episode, Barry Shore sits down with writer and historian Richard Hurowitz, author of In the Garden of the Righteous, to unearth the lost legacy of President Herbert Hoover—a man who quietly saved tens of millions from starvation and risked his reputation to rescue Jews during one of humanity’s darkest chapters.
From Hoover’s bold stand against Hitler while FDR stayed silent, to the heroic defiance of Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes, Hurowitz weaves together stories of moral clarity and unimaginable courage. He reminds us that when institutions fail, individuals can still choose to act—with purpose, compassion, and conviction.
