On January 2, 1995, Yad Vashem recognized and awarded Adolf and Maria Althoff as “righteous Gentiles” ("Escaping the Holocaust in the Circus."). Yad Vashem has recorded and documented as much as possible. They have had interviews with Adolf, Maria, and even Irene. Even with their stories, there is still a lot missing from that time. Wallace

On March 23, 2000, Pope John Paul II delivered the speech “At Israel Holocaust Memorial” at Yad Vashem’s Holocaust Memorial. This breathtaking speech pays homage to those that lost their lives during the events of the Holocaust. What makes this speech unique is that the Pope was alive when these events transpired, and although it has been half a century later, he still mourns the loss of his Jewish friends. Pope John Paul II condemned the murder of the millions of victims and took time from his day

“Whosoever saves a single life, saves an entire universe,” is the quote that is engraved on every heroic medal handed out by an organization called the Yad Vashem. But this is not just any ordinary medal; it is called The Medal of the Righteous.

Starting in 1939 during the Holocaust, many Jews were deported to concentration camps by the Nazis where they will meet their end, but how did some of them survive? Even though most of them died, some lives were saved by the very few people with moral courage. One of the people with moral courage was Carl Lutz. Moral courage is the actions a person takes because of his/her belief of what is right or wrong, even though it may risk his/her life. Lutz was born in Switzerland in 1895 and he emigrated

Adolf Hitler was dedicated to wiping out the European Jews. So how come so many Jews in Albania survived? How come most of the 200 native Jews and 400 hundred Jewish refugees in Albania were saved and able to be free? How come the Jewish population before World War II was smaller than it was after the war? This is because so many Albanian Muslims helped the Jews of Albania escape while countless others hid them in their homes. Thanks to the besa code (which means to keep the promise, and the promise
