Abstract:
Discusses psycho-sociological as well as moral aspects of rescue acts of Righteous Gentiles during World War II. Focuses on two women: Mrs. Jászai, from the village Tiszadob in Hungary, who helped her Jewish neighbors during the period of ghettoization and deportation, for which she was imprisoned by the Nazi authorities in Hungary; and Nina Langlet, who worked for the Swedish Red Cross in Hungary during World War II, along with her husband Valdemar Langlet (who also worked for the Swedish Embassy). Points out that, according to data available at Yad Vashem, the majority of Righteous Gentiles in Germany and in Hungary were women. Relates the rescue acts of these women to their traditional supportive role in the family. Rejects allegations which see these acts as rebellious responses to the women's inferior status in their societies.
