    This videos make me cry as to think during this period of evil darkness, there was a shining light of humanity to give them hope. Mr Soha belongs to the ages and may his life never be forgotten. God bless all those who helped during this time.

    What a wonderful story of the Righteous Among Nations, whose people risked everything, including their lives, to rescue Jews from the murderous Nazi regime and its collaborators. Thank you for this uplifting video of heroism in the face of danger.

      may god bless him? he got killed in 1945 in a car accident through no fault of his own, if there truly was a god, wouldnt he have given him a long life? of course, yet we know there is no god, what kind of an evil horrible god would allow someone who saved jews to be killed a year later himself? if there is a god he is truly a sick and twisted and demented god, not someone i wanna believe in or pray too, there is no god, anyone who believes in god needs their head examined and to be put on meds

      Indeed, Michael. Those people, who are listed as the Righteous Among Nations, risked everything, including their own lives, to rescue Jews from Nazi persecution and save them from being murdered by the Nazis.

      Not true, there are many good people today. I would say even more than in those days, since many were the persecutors then. However, thankfully, the world is better now and sacrifices to this degree is not required by as many. But I would like to think there would be a many people as good as this today.

      @@mirzamay I also want to believe that there are still many good people also today. But usually real heroes we discover they existed only after many years and not at the exact time when their heroism is happening. We are living in a boiling era, when the old and the new are meeting and fighting each other (the good and bad sides of each one, as old not always means bad and the new is not always good, and vice-versa) and also we are daily bombed with opinions and information with small time to think properly and sometimes is very hard to decide what is right and what is wrong.
      But the two years of pandemic showed me how courageous the Yad Vashem heroes were. I will explain why: Regardless my personal opinion on the matter but I observed that we had basically three parties during C-nineteen era: the ones that were totally convinced, the ones that were totally not-convinced and the biggest amount of people that just followed the rules, for different personal reasons, from fear of death to fear of not being able to go to the restaurant or fear to face a police look or small fine and also by seeing how friendships and family connections were broken...I started to imagine, if such a situation was enough to make many people agree on spraying pepper on other peoples eyes, not allowing many people to go to hospitals... what all this people would, be it an Australian, Canadian, whatever nationality e.g.: put back in Poland in 1940 when helping Jews would surely guarantee you a death penalty for you and all your family ? Would this modern and nice people do anything? Would they save a Jew or perhaps even show the gestapo where they are hidden? Who would be the hero? Yes, I know, the situation are completely different (I want to believe that) but... people's weaknesses are surely still the same and the last two years showed me that, if you give the "good" reasons sending people to concentration camps would be again acceptable and again...only a few would be courageous to risk to loose its Iphone9 and comfort, am sorry, rather his life, to save another's life? (I am afraid the new Yad Vashem would be twice smaller than the existing one.... If we put digital ID and gps localization...then would be no Yad Vashem)...
      Sound terrible, but I still believe there are many people today that want a better world and that someday the good will be the majority in this planet.

    this is unbelievable, makes me know even more there is no GOD, so this beautiful young man risked his life and his families life to save jews, and got killed in a car accident in 1945, amazing, you couldnt make this up, if there was a god surely he would have lived to be 90 yrs old for his great deeds in saving the gods chosen people, yet he died young no fault of his own, there is no god, anyone who believes in god needs their head read and be put on some kind of meds
