About this ebook
Since 1963, Yad Vashem, the Israeli national Holocaust remembrance museum, has acted to identify and honor non-Jewish rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. This book discusses some of the issues raised in the debates whether to accord the title of Righteous Among the Nations to candidates of this honor based on established criteria, that led to the approval of some and non-acceptance of others.

After receiving his PhD degree at Temple University, Philadelphia, Paldiel worked for 24 years at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, as director of the Righteous Among the Nations Department.
