    THE INTERNATIONAL RAOUL WALLENBERG FOUNDATION WILL RENDER HOMAGE TO THE ARMENIAN RESCUERS

    The Board of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation (IRWF)
    has decided to create a Memorial Plaque to pay tribute to the brave
    Armenian women and men who reached-out to the victims of Holocaust.

    To date, 24 Armenians have been officially recognized as Righteous
    among the Nations, but many more stories are waiting to be revealed.

    Researchers from the IRWF are collecting and evaluating information
    regarding additional Armenian rescuers, whose feats have not been
    hitherto properly documented.

    In a special statement, Mr. Eduardo Eurnekian, Chairman of the
    International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation has elaborated further:
    "Despite the small size of the Armenian nation, the share of Armenian
    rescuers is remarkable, exemplifying the spirit of solidarity of this
    ancient people. The Wallenberg Foundation is proud to have embarked
    in a two-pronged quest to unveil unknown cases of rescue protagonized
    by Armenians and paying tribute to those who have been recognized and
    those who are still awaiting recognition. The decision of the IRWF to
    create a specially designed Memorial Plaque is our way to recognize
    their courageous deeds and say thanks to these heroes".

    The commemorative plaques will be affixed in major cities of the world.

    The Armenian Association of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which headquarters are
    adjacent to the St. Nicholas Monastery will be the first house to
    host the commemorative plaque.

    The same will be unveiled in a special ceremony at a future date to
    be determine.
