On Thursday, October 22 the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre Yad Vashem, along with the Israel Embassy and the Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies, awarded the late Jacob and Klaasje van der Haar the Righteous Among Nations, the highest honour the state of Israel can bestow upon non-Jews.
Righteous Among Nations recognises the exceptional courage and bravery of non-jews who have risked their lives to protect and rescue Jews from the Holocaust during the Second World War.
