ABSTRACT

In order to prevent the act of revenge or to stop it from developing into a revenge spiral, people who can provide counterbalances are needed. They can be individual helpers and rescuers or ordinary people who show civil courage and do not remain passive spectators of violence. In this chapter, we want to inspire resistance by giving examples of such helpers and of initiatives that can help prevent or stop various types of violence, all the way from violence in the home and on the street to genocide.
