They brought 40,000 Jews from Europe thru Brit Blockade! But still politically incorrect...
3. They forgot Rabanit Recha et al
Son of Survivor ,   Yisrael   (05.01.11)
My maternal grandfather Reb Solomon Dzubas HAY"D sacrificed his life in his work with Rabanite Recha Freier za"l t rescue 7,500 youngsters from Germany & Yugoslavia. He was turned into the gestapo by a traitor, she got word in advance that she had been snitched on too & got away alive. The kids they rescued founded Beirot Yisshhak, Sdeh Eliahu, Hhafess Hhayim & part of Bnei Brak as well as some Dati Leumi Moshavim. They go tsnitched on because the "official" commitees of Jewish organisations were opposed to their use of forged papers etc to rescue those children! Without such methods they would have remained to be murdered.
4. #2 Uzi is right - Yad Vashem too refuses to acknowledge them

Although they saved more European Jews than all other Jewish leaders combined. See the Wyman Institute website for more information. They challenged US policies that were preventing the rescue of Jews at a time when US Jews were reluctant to jeopardize their image as Americans First by working to help European Jews.
5. pfffffffff the brits opend fire towards holocaust

survivors ship, I don't think they should be any close to be honored, and the command to open fire came from official royal navy comander.
6. Jewish Rescuers of Jews
Emanuel Fischer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.02.11)
The work of the late Rabbi Dr. Solomon Schonfeld has never been recognised. He saved hundreds BEFORE the war, he was in contact with the likes of Rabbi weissmandl(Checoslovakia) and also saved Jews DURING the war. After the war he rescued Jewish children from Monasteries and Christian homes bringing them to England.A Jewish rescuer who truly practiced "ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"
