In March 2010, twenty-seven Britons were recognized as 'Heroes of the Holocaust' by the British Government for their courageous efforts to protect Jews from the Nazis during a dark chapter in history. They received a silver medal inscribed with 'In the Service of Humanity' to honor their selfless actions that preserved lives amidst persecution. Gordon Brown praised these individuals as 'true British heroes' and a source of national pride, highlighting their role as beacons of hope against prejudice and hatred. Among them was Frank Foley, a British spy who risked his life issuing forged visas to help around 10,000 Jews escape Germany before the war. Additionally, ten British POWs displayed immense humanity by hiding and caring for Hannah Sarah Rigler during her escape from a death march. All recipients were ordinary individuals who acted on their own accord, unable to remain passive in the face of such evil. This collection presents, for the first time, the remarkable stories of these medal recipients. Acclaimed Holocaust historian Lyn Smith provides a moving testament to their bravery, showcasing their inspiring actions during a time of horror.
