Israel, which was established as a refuge for Jews in the wake of the Holocaust, has gone to great lengths over the years to recognize thousands of "Righteous Among the Nations" - non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Gur said he and his colleagues knew that disaster was looming when three Jewish women arrived at Budapest's main synagogue in the fall of 1943. They had fled Nazi-occupied Poland and bore disturbing news about people being shipped off to concentration camps.
The forged papers were used by Jewish youth movements to operate a smuggling network and run Red Cross houses that saved thousands from the Nazis and their allies.
