Description
Yad Vashem was established on August 19,1953 by Israeli law- the martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Act- as a memorial to those Jews who were victims of what has become known as the Holocaust. This same law also mandates that "a lace and name" be given to non-Jews who acted to save their fellow human beings. Consequently, on a Jerusalem hillside at Ya Vashem, there now stand well over 700 trees planted in honor of these Christians along the Avenue of the Righteous. Peter Hellman tells the stories of four of the righteous and those whom they were able to save. - from Amzon
