Don’t you think these people should have a place in the history and a place in the world largest holocaust muse- um, Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem? Will you partner with us to make it happen?

Right now, we are in an ongoing research in order to gather documentation regarding the Faroese participation in saving Jewish lives in Denmark during IIWW.
We already have the knowledge about a Faroese captain, who regularly sailed Jews over to Sweden in his 70-tonnage boat in 1943, and we know of a Faroese family who took care of a Jewish baby (also in 1943) when its parents had to flee to Sweden. There are other Faroese persons who were active in this work and our task is to find documentation for their activity in saving Jewish lives.
Our goal is to provide documentation for The Faroe Islands to be accepted as a nation who belongs amongst the nations who have been called
“The righteous among the nations”
Mentioned and honoured in Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.
