King in association with USC/Shoah Foundation and the Andrew J. and Joyce D. Mandell Family Foundation. King and Joyce D. Mandell, creators and producers of the 2011 award-winning documentary The Rescuers, featuring renowned historian Sir Martin Gilbert, lead this new project. The Rescuers explores the little-known stories of diplomats who facilitated the survival of those persecuted during the Holocaust. We are currently working to identify those associated with-be they survivors or family members-diplomats who've been recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations. We are in a race against time to collect these stories of service. It is our "last chance" to document first-hand accounts of this chapter of the 20th century's most indelible events. This project will contribute to The Andrew J. and Joyce D. Mandell Rescuers Collection Andrew J and Joyce D. Mandell Family Foundation at the USC/Shoah Foundation for Holocaust Education, Media Arts, and Cultural History.
