Yad Vashem, Israel's national memorial to the Holocaust, recognizes those non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust as Righteous. Their names are inscribed on the "Rescuer's Wall" in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Permanent Exhibition, as well as at Yad Vashem.

During the Holocaust, Yevgenia Zamoroko-Lysenko lived in Kherson, Ukraine. She and her roommate, Klavdia Sopova, helped Masha Spivak obtain false identity papers and find a job. They also allowed her to live in their apartment. In April 1942, the hospital at which Masha worked was relocated. Now jobless, Masha was afraid to venture around town looking for another job for fear of being recognized as a Jew. Yevgenia and Klavdia persuaded her to present herself for forced labor in Germany. Masha worked in Germany until liberation in 1945. She moved to Israel in 1948. -- www.ushmm.org
