Read the excerpt from Human Rights Defender: Emily Greene Balch: Balch's commitment to pacifism was sorely tested during World War II, however, when news of Nazi persecutions reached the United States. Her long association with Jewish
colleagues and friends caused her to alter her strong pacifist stance in favor of the greater issue of fundamental human rights. She explained, "A small barking dog cannot stop a dashing train...

We women pacifists have come to recognize this... without even for a moment, becoming untrue to our pacifist convictions."
