Polish Righteous Gentiles Honored In HMC. Exhibit The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus is partner- ing with the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago to sponsor an exhibit honoring the Polish Righteous Among the Nations, a group of men and women who rescued Jews from extermination by the Nazis. The exhibit, on display at the HMC in Farmington Hills through Oct. 7, tells the story of a group of Polish gentiles living in Nazi German-occupied Poland during World War II who demonstrated extraordinary courage by helping to shelter and aid Jewish men, women and children during the Holocaust. The exhibit also documents the risks involved in this endeavor as Polish citi- zens were the only people in the Nazi German-occupied Europe who, along with their families, were summarily exe- cuted if caught sheltering or aiding Jews. Poland is the nation that has by far the highest number of honorees from any country awarded by the State of Israel with the Righteous Among the Nations medal. This exhibit is a tribute to the rescuers, who, by saving a single life, helped save entire generations that flour- ish until this day.
