Armenian Rescuers
The names of the Armenian Righteous Among the Nations
Among the rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust were Armenians – some of them motivated by the memory of the genocide that the Turks had perpetrated against their families or people at the beginning of the 20th Century. These rescue stories took place in various sites of the Armenian Diaspora - Ukraine, Crimea, Odessa, Vienna, Budapest and France – exemplifying the scattering of their people following the Armenian genocide.
Here are their stories:
