At Yad Vashem, the title of “Righteous Among the Nations” is rightly reserved to non-Jews who, during the Holocaust, risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis and their accomplices.
Major Jewish rescuers of Jews are not distinguished by any honors. The explanation behind this is that while Jews who saved their brethren were just fulfilling their obligation, non-Jews had no such responsibility towardtheir Jewish neighbors; hence, only non-Jews, who braved the risks to themselves by extending help to Jews, merit a special distinction.
Marion Pritchard, a Dutch Righteous honoree who saved many Jews,
has criticized this thinking.
The neglect of honoring Jewish rescuers of Jews who, in her words, “if caught were at much higher risk of the most punitive measures than the gentiles, is a distortion of history.
It also contributes to the widespread fallacious impression that the Jews were cowards, who allowed themselves to be led like ‘lambs to slaughter.’ Nothing is farther from the truth.”
Here, we have in mind not Jewish rescuers who may have saved one or several of their colleagues, but persons who, acting alone, or in unison with others, created rescue networks, and saved dozens and hundreds of Jews.
