MEET THE SPEAKERS

Dr. Mordecai Paldiel headed the Righteous Among the Nations Department at Yad Vashem from 1982-2007. His books include The Path of the Righteous, Sheltering the Jews, Saving the Jews, Diplomat Heroes of the Holocaust, and Saving One’s Own. He serves on the B’nai B’rith Commission to honor Jewish rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. He is also on the Board of the Sousa Mendes Foundation and, thanks to his efforts, there is now a square named for Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Jerusalem. He provided the list of 60 diplomat-rescuers honored by the US Congress in 2024 in the Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act.

Emmanuel Berrebi is a French-Israeli filmmaker and the producer of Khaled (2022), the compelling documentary that brings to light the heroic story of Khaled Abdel Wahab. With a background in both film production and intercultural dialogue, Berrebi is committed to telling stories that challenge conventional historical narratives and foster greater understanding between communities. Through Khaled, he shines a spotlight on an act of Muslim-Jewish solidarity during one of history’s darkest chapters, contributing to a growing body of work that explores Holocaust rescue stories beyond Europe.
