About Moshe Gromb
Moshe Gromb, a fourth generation volunteer, has been volunteering in the community for more than five decades across a wide range of fields. From a young age, volunteering has been a core value in his life. He worked as a department manager in the Finance Division at Motorola Israel. As part of his work, he also volunteered to assist school students.
Conceptual Background
This website is based on the multi volume collection “Jews Who Saved Jews During the Holocaust” written by Moshe Gromb. Here we present some of the stories of thousands of Jews who rescued fellow Jews, the forgotten heroes of the Holocaust, who through their sacred sacrifice and extraordinary courage passed on the legacy of life to future generations.
Call to Action
“The rescue of Jews by fellow Jews during the Holocaust is a remarkable human and moral phenomenon, worthy of being inscribed in golden letters in the book of Jewish heroism throughout the generations. It was a widespread phenomenon that took place everywhere and at all times, without interruption, in varying scopes and dimensions. It led to the rescue and saving of many Jews from danger.”
Call for Recognition
Many Holocaust researchers and academics, including Professor Yehuda Bauer, Professor Nechama Tec, Dr. Bella Gutterman, Professor Gideon Greif, Dr. Emerich Deutsch, Professor Patrick Henry, Dr. Tsila Hershco, Professor Bob Moore, Professor Mordecai Paldiel, Professor Anita Shapira, Professor Asa Kasher, Professor Mina Rozen, and Professor Emanuel Gross, now acknowledge the distortion, injustice, neglect, silence, discrimination, and disregard surrounding the phenomenon of Jews who saved fellow Jews during the Holocaust.
Historical Background and the Purpose of the Action Committee
Approximately eighty one years after the outbreak of World War II and the murder of around six million Jews by the Nazi German regime and its collaborators, Holocaust historiography continues to focus primarily on Jews as victims. Few are aware of another phenomenon: the heroism of Jews who saved fellow Jews during the Holocaust, acting with extraordinary courage and self sacrifice, knowingly risking their own lives even when they had the opportunity to save themselves. Many paid for these actions with their lives.
