Yad Vashem
Adds Name
Baltimore — The name of a
74-year-old resident of a
Toronto suburb, Tibor
Almasy, will be included
among the "Righteous
Among Nations" at Jerusa-
lem's Yad Vashem Holocaust
memorial. Almasy saved the
lives of nearly 400 Jews while
he was a junior officer in the
Royal Hungarian Army dur-
ing the final weeks of World
War II.
As the Red Army closed in
on the Hungarian Army's
positions in March 1945,
Almasy took command of
2,000 men at a military base
after their officers fled to
Austria. They intended to
resist the German occupation
forces and their Hungarian
collaborators.
Almasy destroyed an order
for the "liquidation" of in-
mates of a Jewish labor camp
who had been turned over to
the retreating Hungarian sol-
diers. Instructing the Jews to
remove their yellow Stars of
David, Almasy gave them
Hungarian army uniforms to
conceal their identity. In so
doing, he risked his own life.
He said two other officers
aided him and also deserve
credit.
Almasy never mentioned
the episode until recently
when he reminisced with a
Jewish friend living near .
Toronto. He explained that he
saved the Jews because he
never subscribed-to the anti-
Semitic policies in Hungary
and as a schoolboy had Jew-
ish friends.
Dutch Payments
To Continue
Amsterdam (JTA) — The
Dutch Cabinet has decided
that compensatory payments
to victims of Nazi or Japanese
persecution during World
War II will continue to be
paid, but the government will
not consider applications
from the so-called second
generation of victims, it was
announced last Monday.
The existing payments will
not be reduced, despite a
general freeze on government
expenditures and there will
be no time limit for ap-
plicants. An advisory commit-
tee has proposed that applica-
tions may be made until the
year 2010, when children
born during the Nazi occupa-
tion of Holland and the
Japanese occupation of Dutch
colonial territories will have
reached age 65, entitling
them to old-age pensions.
