# Righteous Among the Nations **Domain:** Holocaust remembrance / Moral recognition **Doc Type:** Developed Wiki Node **Maturity:** Developed **Collections:** [[collections/Gamification|Gamification Collection]] · [[collections/US-Israel Leadership Alliance|US-Israel Leadership Alliance]] ## Definition **Righteous Among the Nations** is Yad Vashem's program recognizing non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust without expectation of payment or other reward. Recognition is based on documented cases reviewed under the program's criteria. ## X Ledger context [[articles/gamification/The X Ledger|The X Ledger]] reads the program as an affirmative register of interruption: it records protective action alongside, but never in place of, the memorial record of those murdered. The distinction preserves the difference among hazard, victim, and protector. ## Sources - [Yad Vashem, Righteous Among the Nations statistics](https://www.yadvashem.org/righteous/statistics.html) - [[articles/gamification/The X Ledger|The X Ledger]] ## Routes [[wiki/Yad Vashem|Yad Vashem]] · [[wiki/Hall of Names|Hall of Names]] · [[wiki/Provenance|Provenance]] · [[articles/gamification/The Golem and The Book of Life|The Golem and The Book of Life]] · [[articles/gamification/The X Ledger|The X Ledger]]
