"Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust"
"Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust" refers to non-Jewish individuals who risked their lives to save Jews during World War II, when the Nazi regime systematically persecuted and murdered millions. These courageous individuals defied the oppressive laws and social norms of their time to provide shelter, food, and other forms of assistance to Jews in danger. Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, honors these people, recognizing their moral courage and humanity. Their actions serve as powerful examples of compassion and resistance in the face of extreme injustice.
