Milenković family

They are honoured as Righteous Among the Nations for saving Jews from the Nazis in Serbia during World War II.

The Fenje family (the father who had the title of Doctor, the mother, and their two daughters) fled to Raška to escape persecution; but the Nazis began to "cleanse" that town also of Jews.

They sheltered them in their own home and arranged hiding places for the father and one daughter in nearby villages.

The area was dangerous: Chetniks of Dragoljub Mihailović and Yugoslav Partisans were fighting the Germans, who were searching for and arresting everyone they considered undesirable.

On 24 October 2002, Yad Vashem recognised Svetozar and Vida Milenković and Aleksandar Petrović as Righteous Among the Nations.
