  • El Salvador's Holocaust Heroes
    - 1 El Salvador's Holocaust Heroes By John Lamperti1 It must be clearly established that San Salvador [sic] is the only state to overcome any hesitancy and to undertake an active rescue operation. Carl Lutz, Swiss Ambassador in Budapest, 19442 Germany invaded its wavering ally Hungary on March 19, 1944, when eleven German divisions marched into Budapest. There was no resistance, and a compliant puppet government was installed in a few days. The “final solution” for Hungarian Jews then began with shocking speed. In a few weeks yellow stars and ghettos were imposed everywhere that Jews lived in Hungary outside the capital. Deportations to Auschwitz began in mid May, and in less than a fortnight from 12,000 to 14,000 Jewish people per day were being sent away on special trains, packed horribly into freight and cattle cars. In less than two months, 445,000 human beings had been shipped to their deaths.3 George Mandel/Mantello Suddenly the transports stopped. Hungary’s strong man Miclós Horthy, who had raised few previous objections to Hitler’s plans, ordered a halt to the deportations while more than 200,000 Jews in Budapest remained largely unmolested. To many that halt seemed no less than a miracle. But what made Horthy act? The answer, surprisingly, has much to do with the small, far-off nation of El Salvador and with a man named George Mantello. Most Salvadorans have never heard his name, although he was an official of their government during the critical years of the second World War. Mantello was an unusual Salvadoran who spoke no Spanish and never set his foot on the nation's soil.

  • Jerusalem Working Group for Recognition of Leading Jewish Rescuers During the Shoah
    Jerusalem Working Group for Recognition of Leading Jewish Rescuers during the Shoah POB 23718 Jerusalem 91236 [email protected] +972 54 726-7681 www.geocities.com/jerusalem_working_group About us During the darkest days of the Shoah, there were Jews and non-Jews from various countries who refused to put aside the torch of humanity and liberty, even as its light seemed all but extinguished. They were a remarkable group of rugged individuals, people of enormous talent, moral sense, dedication, courage and ability to innovate. They succeeded in snatching hundreds of thousand Jews from the Nazis’, Fascists’ and anti-semites’ killing grounds in the face of intensive bureaucratic obstruction and indifference. History has largely failed to mark their deeds, thus, regrettably, important lessons from the tragedy of the Shoah were not learned. Holocaust centers world-wide have yet to provide appropriate recognition to major Jewish rescuers. Israel didn’t name public places after them, issued no stamps and coins in their honor and most schools don’t teach about them. The Jerusalem Working Group is determined to rectify this and is dedicated to realizing the honor and recognition that has so long been denied. We also believe that lessons learned from Holocaust era rescuers are critical, and that we are obliged to ask what we can do for today’s burning problems and do it. JWG members are academics, historians, Holocaust survivors, concerned people internationally, and families of Jews who, defying all risks, played a seminal role in the rescue of large numbers of Jews from many murderers in Europe’s twentieth century dark age.
