Notice

The Jerusalem Working Group for Recognition of Major Jewish Rescuers during the Shoah
was formed in July 2004 and is dormant since about 2009.

JWG took various steps to assure that the legendary dedicated, brave few Jewish rescuers, the "Jewish Wallenbergs",
whose activism led to protection, rescue of possibly hundreds of thousands
will finally be appropriately "recognized" by Jews, Israel and others world-wide.

Information about JWG is posted on: jwg.awardspace.info
