Georgio+Perlasca

By GrantJ-CMS

Giorgio was truly a Hero of the Holocaust.He was born on January 31st, 1910 Comp, Italy. He was part of a family of civil servants, judges, and army officers. He was tall, had piercing blue eyes, and cropped hair. Once the war was around midway Italy’s government fell which kept him stuck in Budapest. He had the chance to escape but he stayed and helped protect the Jewish people from the Natzis. “Along with Angel Sanz-Briz he saved many Jews in Budapest. He was working in a diplomatic community to make a ‘safehouse’ for Jewish people”(Jewishvirtuallibrary). He moved to Spain in 1944 and 1945 and helped organize hiding and feeding transports to help more Jewish people (Jewishvirtuallibrary). In Spain he worked with Raoul Wallenberg, Friedrich Born, and Angelo Rotta. His legacy had to end though. By a heart attack on August 15, 1992, Pada Italy. Many people will remember him including me. I will remember that he saved 5,000 Jewish people.
