Whoever saves a single life is as if one saves the entire world.
During the Holocaust there were thousands of non-Jews, Christians and Muslims, who refused to be passive in the face of the evil they witnessed, rescuing Jews often at risk to their own lives and their families. The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous sends monthly financial assistance to surviving aged and needy Righteous Gentiles. The Foundation’s nationally acclaimed Holocaust education program teaches educators the history of the Holocaust and antisemitism, its relevance for these times and the significance of altruistic behavior for our society.
Learning About the Past to Understand the Present
The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) offers a nationally recognized Holocaust teacher education program for middle and high school teachers. The JFR seeks to create a community of learners versed in the historiography of the Holocaust with a foregrounding in historical and contemporary antisemitism.
Stories of Moral Courage
The JFR is pleased to offer more than 200 stories of moral courage. Learn about men and women, Christians and Muslims, who risked their lives and often the lives of their families to save Jews during the Holocaust.
