This special day proved that this brave 92-year-old woman didn´t only save these Jews’ lives, but their generations.

There are no words to describe this feeling. It is very emotional for us to be together again,” Ms. Yanai told reporters.

We were hidden in her house. She saved all my family. Six persons… you can’t imagine how dangerous it was for her, for her family, to keep us all… They saved our lives.”
