Notice

The Jerusalem Working Group for Recognition of Major Jewish Rescuers during the Shoah has been formed in July 2004.
JWG is taking various steps to assure that the legendary dedicated, brave Jewish rescuers, the "Jewush Wallenbergs", each of whose actuivism led to rescue of tens of thousands or possibly many more, will finally be appropriately "recognized'' by Jews, Israel and others world-wide.
