Holocaust Survivors Reunite with Rescuer at Yad Vashem

(Jerusalem Post) Ilanit Chernick - On Sunday, Melpomeni Dina, 92, reunited with siblings Sarah Yanai and Yossi Mor in an emotional meeting at Yad Vashem when they introduced their rescuer to almost 40 family members. During World War II, Dina and her older sisters risked their lives for almost two years to help the Jewish family in Veria, Greece, to hide from the Germans. Stanlee J. Stahl, vice president of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, said that "to the best of my knowledge, this is the last reunion [of rescuers and survivors] that will ever take place." She said that she has been organizing such reunions once a year since 1992, but today, either the rescuers have died, the survivors have died, or they are too frail to travel.
