ZAGREB, May 29 (Hina) - Vice-president of the Zagreb Jewish
community, Igor Francetic, decorated the family of the late Mr.
Karlo and Mrs. Marija Car as Righteous Among Peoples.
Francetic handed the medal to the Cars' daughter, Andjela Cibilic.
The Righteous Among Peoples is the highest decoration which the
state of Israel and the Jewish people bestow upon any gentile in the
world.
The Memorial holocaust museum in Israel, Yad Vashem, gives this
decoration to people who had saved Jews during WWII, endangering
their own lives.
Among the thousands of people in the world who were decorated with
the medal and plaque are over 50 Croatians.
During the spring of 1942, the Car family kept hidden in their home
in Zagreb a Jewish family Weiss who had fled Osijek and from racist
laws of the then Independent State of Croatia (NDH, 1941-1945).
Ivan Weiss, a mere boy at the time, suggested the Car's for the
decoration. He died last year.
