(1) These figures are based solely on material made available to Yad Vashem and are in no way to be construed as reflecting the actual number of Jews saved in each country. For instance, more Jews were rescued in Belgium than in Holland, yet we have six times as many persons for Holland as we do for Belgium. The same is true for Italy in relation to Poland. On the other hand, although less Jews were saved in Poland and the Netherlands than in other countries, rescue possibilities were more difficult in these two countries than elsewhere in Eastern and Western Europe.

(2) The Underground movements in Denmark and Norway played a major role in the rescue of the Jews in their communities. These two organisations have asked that no individual names be divulged.

(3) 19 of the Righteous Among the Nations migrated to Australia after the war.

Among individual Righteous Among the Nations of note are Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg, Sempo Sugihara, Mitsugi Shibata and Lydia and Johannes Huygens.
