List of the Righteous Among the Nations from Belgium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations .

The List of Righteous Among the Nations from Belgium includes Belgians honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Israel's Yad Vashem Memorial for saving Jews during the Nazi era .

Since 1953, the State of Israel has honored people as Righteous Among the Nations who took great personal risks between 1933 and 1945 and put their lives in danger in order to protect Jews threatened with deportation to labor or extermination camps . In Yad Vashem, a plaque is placed for each person in the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations , and a tree was planted for each of the early honored people in the Alley of the Righteous Among the Nations , but this has become rare due to lack of space. As of January 1, 2019, the total number of the Righteous was 27,362, including 1,751 Belgians.

Due to the large number of people, the list is divided according to nationalities. For other nations, see List of the Righteous Among the Nations . For some people, the location of the rescue operation is given in brackets.
