Acted...Krakow 2003
Five thousand eight hundred Poles have received the honor of being named Righteous Among the Nations. Conferred by Yad Vashem, this number is more than from any other country. At the risk of certain death, these people hid jews; took them into their homes; saved their lives.
Today most of these people live their lives in obscurity, with little notoriety. But like Holocaust survivors, it is important that their stories be kept alive as their testimony to the events of the Holocaust. This video provides four of the Polish Righteous the opportunity to do this as it does one Holocaust survivor who was saved by Poles.
of Krakow. This videos captures the inspirational
