The Unsung Hiders

Anne Frank was famous for hiding through the Holocaust.  Countless Jews were saved by kind friends and strangers who risked everything to hide them.

During the Rwandan Genocide, Immaculee Ilibagiza hid in a bathroom for 3 months with seven other Tutsi women.  Eugenie Mukeshimana survived by hiding with many strangers who took her in.  Numerous refugees found shelter in mosques with Muslims who fed and protected them. 

To the many persons who risked their lives to hide those in danger, thank you.
