Counting the Righteous: Answers
How many of these people did you know? If you did, it's probably because you've seen the movies about Anne Frank (and Miep Gies), Oskar Schindler, and Giorgio Perlasca. All of them did something much more worthy of notice than, say, win a b-ball tournament. Maybe the reason they don't get more attention is because, unlike athletes, their accomplishments may make some people uncomfortable. Note: all of these people are listed as Righteous because somebody whose life they saved asked for them to be recognised at Yad Vashem.
The Mishnah says, 'Whosoever saves a single life, saves an entire universe.' We think these things should be better known.
Here are the Righteous and what they did.
