In the Garden of the Righteous: The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust

During the Holocaust, a handful of non-Jewish people risked their lives to save the targeted and condemned. While a few, such as Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, have received international attention for their valor, Yad Vashem, the memorial to the Holocaust in Israel, has recognized some 27,000 who risked their lives to save Jews with a special garden in Jerusalem. Richard Hurowitz’s IN THE GARDEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS: The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust (Harper, 2023) pays tribute to these men and women who risked their life, liberty, or career to help their neighbors, and often complete strangers, to survive.
