About this title

Synopsis

The concept of ''Righteous Among the Nations'' is based on the Talmudic saying, ''He who saves one human being is as if he saves an entire world.'' The more than 22,000 Righteous Among the Nations are from all nationalities, religious denominations, and social groups, each with a deeply human story of the preservation of human values in the midst of absolute moral collapse.

Review

''In the darkness of the Nazi occupation, a few lights flickered: the Righteous Among the Nations... Yad Vashem has commemorated those who risked their lives, who heeded nothing but their hearts and their human conscience, and who rescued Jews.'' --Jacques Chirac, former President of France
