The European Day of the Righteous is observed worldwide on March 6 to commemorate individuals who have stood against totalitarianism and crimes against humanity. Established by the European Parliament in 2013, this remembrance day honors those who saved lives during the Holocaust and other genocides. The concept of Righteous Among the Nations, introduced by Yad Vashem, recognizes non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust, exemplified by figures like Oskar Schindler. The observance also acknowledges broader cases of genocide and totalitarianism, reflecting the vision of Moshe Bejski, former President of the Righteous Commission. This day serves as a tribute to the commitment to human rights and the importance of individual actions in the face of oppression, encapsulated in the inscription on Schindler's ring: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.”
