Rescuer Support
Rescuer Support
The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous (JFR) provides monthly financial assistance to aged and needy Righteous Gentiles, non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. The majority of the rescuers receiving financial support live in Eastern Europe, with Poland having the largest number of rescuers. The JFR provides a special award at Christmas for the purchase of food, medicine, and home heating fuel.
