| Summary: | In 1953 the Israeli government established Yad Vashem as a memorial to the millions of Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Ten years later commemoration was extended to non-Jews who had rescued or assisted Jews to escape from death at the hands of the Nazis or their associates. Over the years some twenty-one thousand of these “Righteous Gentiles” have been identified after careful scrutiny of depositions on their behalf. Each was honored with a tree in the stately Avenue of the Righteous Gentiles and a plaque giving the individual's name and country of origin., Mordecai Paldiel, director of the program, has selected for publication the stories of some three hundred Christian clerics, both male and female, from a variety of denominations across the European continent. |
