"Each of these Righteous Gentiles is a hero who confronted their mortality to save their Jewish neighbors from Nazi persecution during the Holocaust,” stated Stanlee Stahl, of Jewish Foundation for the Righteous.
The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous said that it is distributing $380,000 this holiday season—the most it has given to date around Christmas time—to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
The recipients live in 10 countries, according to the foundation, which says that it has given $46 million to some 3,600 people in more than 34 countries.
The countries are Australia, Belarus, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden and Ukraine.
