Holocaust Hero

We mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a story of heroism. The actions of a Portuguese diplomat named Aristides de Sousa Mendes is described by one historian as “the largest rescue action by a single individual during the Holocaust.” Gerald Mendes is the grandson of Aristides de Sousa Mendes and Dan Mattis escaped the Nazis with one of the visas issued by Sousa Mendes.
