ADL Honors Hungarian Aristocrat Who Helped Polish And Slovak Jews Flee To ...

"I know firsthand how essential it is to have the assistance of one person, who at the time of moral collapse, has not forgotten the basic principle to lead a moral life: Do unto others as you would have others do to you, "said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor who was saved by his Polish nanny. "To help another human being when to do it, you will earn the scorn, contempt and even threaten your life and your family, which is to take a moral position of incalculable value. Jnos Esterhzy done and he deserves our gratitude and our eternal thanks." In 1939, he became the only Hungarian member of Slovak Parliament and he helped with the relocation of Polish refugees, many of whom were Jews, to Hungary. Then in 1942, he was the only one of 63 members of Parliament to vote against the deportation of Slovakia's Jews. Following the vote, he helped Jews flee to Hungary. In 2010, Yad Vashem recognized and expressed appreciation for his efforts to save persecuted Jews during the Holocaust. include: Horst Lantzsch, Irene Gut Opdyke, Gilberto Bosques Saldívar, Eduardo Propper de Callejón, Khaled Abdelwahhab, Ernst Leitz II, Mefail and Njazi Bicaku, Hiram Bingham IV, Sir Nicholas Winton, Konstantin Koslovsky, Jan and Miep Gies, Aristides De Sousa Mendes, Jan Karski, Selahattin Ulkumen, Chiune Sugihara, the French town of Le Chambon-Sur-Lignon, Emilie and Oskar Schindler, The Partisans of Riccione, Italy and Johanna Vos.
