Righteous Among Nations

An honorific used by the State of Israel to describe non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews from extermination by the Nazis for altruistic reasons. As of 1 January 2021, the award has been made to 27,921 people. This Yad Vashem highlights that the table is not representative of the effort or proportion of Jews saved per country, and notes that these numbers “are not necessarily an indication of the actual number of rescuers in each country but reflect the cases that were made available to Yad Vashem.

Below is a partial list.

Introduction

The following questions are answered by the booklets. There may not be a one-to-one correspondence to the titles of the booklets, however we believe that the user will have no trouble connecting the questions to the answers.

Categorized as Questions

The Iran Deal

Due to the timely considerations of re-signing the Iran Deal by the Biden administration. We provide an expanded critique by the New York Times and the Jewish Journal in The Opinion Book Volume 2 which deals with a wide panoramic view of the Middle East. We urge the reader who is interested to access the Holocausts Wars Opinions and Critiques Volume 2.

Although the author’s critiques were generated several years ago they are still valid.

Badges

This is a selection of the badges that Jews were required to wear. Some were sewn onto clothing, others were worn as armbands. The words were the local languages.

Memorials

IN OCTOBER OF 1944, HITLER overthrew the leader of the Hungarian government, Miklos Horthy, and replaced him with Ferenc Szalasi.

Szalasi, whose ideology closely followed Hitler’s, immediately established the Arrow Cross Party – a fascist, anti-semitic organization that brutally and publicly terrorized the Jews in Budapest by beating and killing them. Nearly 80,000 Jews were expelled from Hungary in a death march to the Austrian border and approximately 20,000 Jews were brutally shot along the banks of the Danube River. The victims were forced to remove their shoes at gunpoint (shoes being a valuable commodity during World War II) and face their executioner before they were shot without mercy, falling over the edge to be washed away by the freezing waters.

Passports

Note a few things here.

  • The large, red, letter “J”. All “Jewish” passports were recalled and stamped accordingly.
  • The red stamp of the word “Israel” above the name. This was done on all “Jewish” passports. It should be noted that this was well before the state of Israel was founded. In fact, the name “Israel” had not yet been chosen. Possibly this refers to the biblical name given to Jacob.
  • The third passport/visa was signed by the American consul in Vienna GERMANY. In 1938. Hitler had forced the resignation of the Austrian Chancellor by demanding that he admit Nazis into his cabinet. The new Chancellor, a pro-Nazi, invited German troops to enter the country on the pretext of restoring law and order. Hence, annexing Austria to Germany

Psychiatry and the Holocaust

At The Project Gideon Company it is our opinion that the role of the psychiatric industry has long been misunderstood and underrated as one of the root causes of the Holocaust.

Racial Hygiene

The term racial hygiene was used to describe an approach to eugenics in the early 20th century. Most eugenicists at the time, racial hygienists believed that the lack of eugenics would lead to rapid social degeneration, the decline of civilization by the spread of inferior characteristics.
