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.

Film producer Patricia Kenner approached Ruth Gruber about telling her life story when Gruber was 97.  The film went on to critical acclaim. She serves on the Boards of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Defiant Requiem Foundation, Selfhelp Foundation, Educational Alliance, Carnegie Mellon University, and the American Heart Association and is co-chair of the Community Initiative on Holocaust Survivors at UJA. She is also the Executive Producer of Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles (2019).
