Moshe Bejski (Hebrew: משה בייסקי, 29 December 1921 – 6 March 2007) was a Polish-born Israeli Supreme Court Justice and President of Yad Vashem's Righteous Among the Nations Commission.
On paper, the brothers were listed as a machine fitter and a draftsman, but Uri had expertise in weapons and Moshe had become a skilled document-forger.
[3] He and his brothers eventually got placed on the famous list for Oskar Schindler's factory in occupied Czechoslovakia, where they spent the remainder of the war in relative safety.
For years no one knew of his history; he was commonly thought to be a Zionist who came to Palestine before the Nazi persecution or even a native born Israeli.
Bejski delivered an emotional account of the circumstances at the camp and he conveyed the many crimes committed there to the court.
A debate opened around the world, also stirred by the polemic contribution of Hannah Arendt, a German philosopher of Jewish descent who escaped to America in the 1930s.
The Yad Vashem Memorial was established in Jerusalem for eternal remembrance and acknowledgment of the Holocaust victims.
The Righteous Commission was established and given the task of running investigations to discover the acts of rescue and to find who the title must be awarded to.
In that time nearly eighteen thousand Righteous had been honored and had been able to plant a tree in the avenue dedicated to remembering them and their gestures at Yad Vashem.
[8] His response to the philosophical question posed in Holocaust memoir The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness by Simon Wiesenthal is featured in current editions of the book.
