"Righteous Among the Nations" is an honor bestowed by the State of Israel to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. This recognition is part of the effort to remember and honor those who showed extraordinary courage and compassion in the face of persecution. The title is awarded by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. Recipients are recognized for their selfless actions, which often involved significant personal danger, and their stories serve as powerful reminders of humanity's capacity for kindness during times of great evil.
