To date, more than 8,500 rescuers, none of whom are Jewish, have been honored for having saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Thousands more remain unknown. From 1986-1988, Gay Block and Malka Drucker interviewed and photographed over 100 Holocaust rescuers, from twelve different countries; their photographic exhibit has traveled to museums across the U.S.A. In Ms. Block's video, we meet the passionate and heroic "Righteous Gentiles," who risked their lives- as well as the lives of their families, to save Jews. The "ordinary response" of these selfless and unassuming men and women made a difference. "The stories are told with authenticity and emotion. Viewers will be impressed with the large number and wide array of rescuers interviewed."-Video Rating Guide
